I colori del bosco / The colours of the wood

La lana che ho usato per creare questa sciarpa l'ho trovata in un posto lontano dal mio bosco, un posto molto diverso, che però sento come mio. I colori di questi gomitoli mi hanno colpita subito, mi hanno ricordato la mia casa, e li ho presi senza un progetto preciso, sperando di usarli per qualcosa da indossare nelle mie passeggiate tra le foglie secche e gli alberi spogli. Sono stati un po' nella cesta dei gomitoli, in attesa che io trovassi l'ispirazione per usarli, cosa che è in effetti accaduta. Questo è il risultato, una sciarpa molto lunga, caldissima - quello che ci vuole per andare alla scoperta di nuovi sentieri...

I found the wool that I used to create this scarf in a place far away from my wood, a very different place, where I feel like I belong anyway. These yarns' colours immediately caught my eye, they reminded of my home, and I took them without a project in mind, hoping to use them to make something to wear during my strolling between fallen leaves and bare trees. They dwelled in the wool basket for a while, waiting for my inspiration for a way to use them, which finally came. This is the result: a really long scarf, incredibly warm - just what you need to discover new paths during your walks...

December / Dicembre

Just a quick post to wish you all a merry month of December, full of coziness and warm thoughts while waiting for Yule (or Xmas, or however you like to call this happy holiday! : )). As some of you may have noticed there have been changes in my blog, first of all my name: yes, I'm called Valentina. Melatia was just a username I chose for the web, but in the end I grew tired of it and decided to use my real name. So, not much of a change, is it? Another thing, from now on I'll write in English first and then in Italian. Might sound strange, but when I first learnt English I felt such a love for the language, as if I had found something I lost once again... my love hasn't diminished through the years, and I know I'm not perfect writing and speaking it, but words flow much more easily in English, I have much more fun when I use it, so... tough decision? Not really, and I'm happy with it! : ) Talking 'bout creative stuff, I'm... busy, to say the least. ...

Tunisian crochet hooks, pt. 1 / Uncinetti tunisini, parte 1

When it comes to Tunisian crochet, one of the first issues people face is: which hooks should I choose? I decided to write about my own experience in 2 or 3 posts, and hopefully help some of you. When I first wanted to try Tunisian crochet, I only had a couple of long hooks at home, and they were definitely too thin for a newbie, like 2,5 mm or such. So I headed to a local store and bought me a nice 5 mm one. It was the classic  long, straight aluminium hook with a plastic stopper at one end and a pretty rounded tip at the other end , branded Pony. I practiced a bit with it, and  I struggled because of the rounded tip . I didn't give up, though: I purchased some bigger sizes by the same brand, which were  double-ended and all plastic .  I couldn't use those to save my life . The yarn didn't glide on them, and using them hurt my wrist terribly. Silly newbie I was, I blamed it all on the technique itself and took a pause from it, even though I did enjoy it...
