Neve / Snow

Approfito della neve che da ieri mattina mi fa compagnia per un post che vede come protagoniste alcune mie piccole amiche verdi. Le mie piantine montane gradiscono la carezza ghiacciata della neve, si rifugiano sotto la sua coperta candida, e lasciano appena intravvedere le loro foglie tinte di porpora dal freddo, più belle che mai in questa stagione.

The snow is keeping me company since yesterday mornig, so today I'll write a post about some of my little green friends. My mountain plants love snow's icey caress, they hide under its white blanket, and they let barely see their crimson stained leaves, prettier than ever during this season.

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!
