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...

    Hai proprio ragione. E' un colore con sfumature particolari.

    What a wonderful scarf! ♥ Beautiful colors and a great picture, the background's colors are matching so well! I like the way you photograph your works :-)

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. ...

Winter? / Inverno?

I don't know about the places where you live, but here we've seen such little snow that it doesn't feel like Winter at all, and I'm pretty upset about it, it's not natural at all!  Anyway, regardless the temperatures, the wool calls, so I'm always working on something. Here I'd like to show you my very first knitting project, a scarf I made as a birthday gift for my boyfriend. I know, it's not an original project at all, but I'm still very proud of it. Furthermore, the wool I made it with is special for us, as we bought it as we were on holiday by the sea this Autumn, and it's a wonderful yarn, the one I talked about in this post. Its color is much better that it is in the pictures, and it's oh so soft - I almost wanted to keep the scarf for myself! ; ) What do you think, you likey? Non so come sia da voi, ma qui c'è talmente poca neve che non sembra neanche inverno, e mi dispiace, anche perché non è affatto normale! In ogni c...

Finished! / Finito!

Hello ladies! How was your weekend? Hope it all goes well! I'm here to show my finally finished baby cardigan, remember ? I've already told you about the wool I used in my latest post, so I won't bore you any longer - just a quick note: if you happen to find it and you've got some knitting baby project in mind definitely try it out! It's thin but grows quickly, it's incredibly soft and it took me less than 100 g on 3.5 mm needles to finish this cardigan, which should fit a 6 months old. Ciao a tutte! Com'è andato il fine settimana? Spero tutto bene! Sono qui per mostrarvi il golfino di cui vi avevo parlato, vi ricordate ? Vi ho già parlato nello scorso post della lana che ho usato, quindi non vi annoierò oltre - solo un appunto veloce: se vi capita di trovarla e avete in mente di sferruzzare qualcosa per un bimbo provatela! E' sottile ma cresce in fretta, è incredibilmente morbida, e mi sono bastati meno di 100 g (su ferri da 3.5 mm) per que...
