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...

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. ...

Tunisian crochet hooks - Pt. 4 / Uncinetti tunisini - Parte 4

In 3 past posts I talked about a variety of Tunisian crochet hooks ( part 1 , part 2 , part 3 ), sharing my experiences and opinions with you all. In this post I'm gonna write a very specific kind: BIG hooks. Bulky and super bulky yarns are a reality, these days . If you like these kinds of yarns, you might seriously consider trying them with Tunisian crochet. Especially if you use simple stitches, like Tunisian simple stitch or Tunisian knit stitch, this technique really makes the texture of both stitch's and fabric stand out . I'm not a sucker for gigantic yarns and hooks, normally, but I do think that, a few times a year,  crocheting with big hooks is lots of fun . Question is, where to find those really big Tunisian hooks? Denise sets go up to 15 mm hooks , but what if we want even bigger ones? Well, not to worry: ChiaoGoo makes Tunisian hooks with flexible cords up to 25 mm ! ChiaoGoo's are bamboo hooks, wonderfully smooth, with a nicely pointed tip , and...

Bye, Blogger
