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...

Wishes and shawls / "Vorrei" e scialli

I can't believe how long it's been since my last post. I'd like to have something more to say, or better yet, I'd like to have more time to think about what to write and really write it down. But unfortunately, I don't. I'm sorry my blog isn't more inspirational, as many of yours are, I wish it was. It's just one of those moments, you know... I'm so busy with too many things. So, want to know what I'm up to these days? Well, there you go: I enjoy long walks in the woods together with my boyfriend every weekend (we're so lucky, I know, and I'm oh so thankful!). I crochet (and knit a bit) every time I can, though not as much as I wish. I try and take good care of my plants and especially my beloved cacti, which continue to grow in number and are preparing to bloom, some of them for the first time, and that's exciting. I also purchased some new hooks and knitting needles, and I'd like to tell you about them in the future, becaus...

For Ireland, and Ireland only...

... The harp, the Shamrock,  Green, white and gold... I almost never write about my love for Celtic culture, I don't really know why; but it's somethind deep rooted in my spirit, a connection that only grows stronger as years go by.  I had the chance to write my bachelor's degree thesis about W. B. Yeats and the Celtic elements within the folk traditions of Éire, a few years back, and thanks to this I got to know Irish culture much better than I did, though I still haven't had the occasion to visit the place. Needless to say, I love everything related: mythology, folklore, traditions... Plus, I absolutely love green, so: a few years later, here's my tiny tribute to the Emerald Isle of Éire, or Ireland, if you wish. : ) What do you think? I know it's simple looking (and simple to make, in fact), but I really like the way it turned out, and I'm quite proud of my shamrocks all around... Would you like to wear your own Irish-related shaw...
