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...

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...

Finished! / Finito!

Hello ladies! How was your weekend? Hope it all goes well! I'm here to show my finally finished baby cardigan, remember ? I've already told you about the wool I used in my latest post, so I won't bore you any longer - just a quick note: if you happen to find it and you've got some knitting baby project in mind definitely try it out! It's thin but grows quickly, it's incredibly soft and it took me less than 100 g on 3.5 mm needles to finish this cardigan, which should fit a 6 months old. Ciao a tutte! Com'è andato il fine settimana? Spero tutto bene! Sono qui per mostrarvi il golfino di cui vi avevo parlato, vi ricordate ? Vi ho già parlato nello scorso post della lana che ho usato, quindi non vi annoierò oltre - solo un appunto veloce: se vi capita di trovarla e avete in mente di sferruzzare qualcosa per un bimbo provatela! E' sottile ma cresce in fretta, è incredibilmente morbida, e mi sono bastati meno di 100 g (su ferri da 3.5 mm) per que...
