La 12° notte

Si avvicina la 12° notte, notte magica, notte di incanti e di tessitura.
Ad ogni nuovo intreccio il pensiero vola a Perchta, a Frau Holda, a Frigg. Continuo a tessere, confidando nel loro aiuto per i lavori già iniziati e per quelli ancora da cominciare.
Ad assistermi da vicino c’è Cailleach, l’anziana dea velata. A Lei dedico questa piccola creazione del colore della roccia ghiacciata…

The 12th night is near, a magic night, a night of spells and of weaving.
At each knot my thought flies to Perchta, to Frau Holda, to Frigg. I go on weaving, trusting in their help for the works that already started and for those that are yet to begin. 
Cailleach takes good care of me, this ancient veiled goddess. I dedicate this little creation, the colour of the frozen stone, to Her…



Buona notte di magia, possiate ricevere i doni che meritate... 

Have a good night of magic, may you receive the gifts you deserve…

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...

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...
