Un doppio dono / A double present

Qualche tempo fa mio papà mi ha chiesto di realizzare per lui una sciarpa e un cappello coordinati. Siamo andati insieme a scegliere i gomitoli, e mentre li lavoravo mi sono pentita di non averne comprati di più, perché mi piacevano davvero tanto le diverse sfumature della lana e l'effetto a lavoro terminato. In ogni caso, lui è stato molto contento del risultato, li indossa spesso entambi e mi garantisce che tengono caldo, perciò posso dirmi soddisfatta...

Some time ago my dad asked me to make him a scarf and hat matching set. We went together to look for the yarns, and as I crochetted I regretted not having bought some more, for I really like the different shades of the wool and the general effect when the work was over. Anyway, dad was very happy with it, he often wears both items and he guarantees they keep him warm, so I can say I'm satisfied...

And here's the Dragon! / Ecco il Drago!

Remember the Dragon Tail scarf/shawl I began some time ago? Well, last week I managed to finish it, and I'm oh so proud of it. Not only it's my first Tunisian crochet project, but it also turned out great, big and cosy and oh so soft (this thanks to the lovely yarn Géraldine sent me, Phil Bambou Laine by Phildar). 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!
