Rainbow gloves


Per iniziare il nuovo anno, un po' di colore in mezzo alla neve che ci tiene compagnia indugiando nei prati...

To start this new year, a little bit of colour in the midst of the snow that still keeps us company, lingering on the fields...


Questi guanti sono nati per essere regalati ad una persona con mani più piccole delle mie, ma ho voluto comunque indossarli per qualche minuto. Ho così potuto verificarne l'ottima tenuta al freddo, molto importante, e ho avuto conferma del piacevole effetto a contrasto sui colori glaciali dell'Inverno. La persona che li ha ricevuti in dono ne è stata entusiasta, e questa è sempre la conferma migliore che una tessitrice possa desiderare...

These gloves were born as a present for someone whose hands are pretty smaller than mine, but I still wanted to wear them for a little while. This way, I've been able to test their resistance to the cold, which is fundamental, and I've had proof of the pleasing chromatic contrast between them and the icey colours of Winter. The person who received this gift was enthusiastic, especially when she tried them on - and this is always the best proof a weaver may ask for...

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. ...

Bye, Blogger

I'll write on my  WordPress blog only, from now on, so if you want to follow me you'll find me there. I won't delete this blog, as I'm attached to it and it reminds me of the road I travelled so far, but at least for now I won't update it anymore.

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...
