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…

It is 2 m long from tip to tip and 45 cm wide by the last scale, and the last row counts 110 stitches, which are quite a lot... : ) As I already wrote I strongly recommend this if you want to try Tunisian crochet, it's easy, good fun and you get a nice original item to wear. You might find this tutorial by Julia Marquardt helpful, but if you want to get one that's exactly like mine you have to change the pattern a little bit: I followed the instructions by a great designer, MariaGrazia Berno , who modified it a bit in order to obtain a scarf/shawl that curls up more. Her pattern says to increase of two stitches at the end of every row, just before the se...

Yule

These are the days of Yule, a very special time of the year for most of us, when the Light is reborn and back in our lives. So even if the Solstice is gone, I still want to wish you all to have some wonderful days ahead, whatever you celebrate, and a happy 2015!  I'll be back... well, next year, so have some great holidays, and talk to you in 2015! Questi sono i giorni di Yule, un momento dell'anno speciale per molti di noi, giorni in cui la Luce ritorna nelle nostre vite. Allora, anche se il Solstizio è passato, voglio augurarvi di passare dei bellissimi giorni, qualunque ricorrenza celebriate, e anche un felice anno nuovo! Io tornerò a scrivere... beh, l'anno prossimo, quindi buone vacanze, ci sentiamo nel 2015!
