Uno sguardo indietro pt 2 / Looking back pt 2

Oggi condivido con voi il mio primo lavoro all'uncinetto in assoluto: una sciarpa per il mio moroso. L'ho iniziata verso la fine dell'agosto scorso, in una cupa mattina di temporale, con il cielo pieno di nuvole scure, proprio del colore di questa lana. Il filato era piuttosto sottile e io piuttosto inesperta, perciò ci ho impiegato un'infinità di tempo a finirla: è stata pronta per la fine di settembre. Anche se qui sui monti le temperature scendono presto, sono comunque riuscita a regalargliela in tempo per i primi freddi. Trattandosi del primo progetto che ho portato a termine vi sono particolarmente legata; riguardandola oggi mi ricorda di quanto fossi lenta a lavorare, e mi dà la misura di quanto sia migliorata.

Today I'll share with you my very first crochet work: a scarf for my boyfriend. I started it towards the end of last August, during a gloomy and stormy morning, the sky full of dark clouds, just the colour of this wool. The yarn was pretty thin and I was pretty unexperienced, so it took me an unbelievably long time to finish it: it was ready by the end of September. Even if on our mountains the temperatures lower early, I was able to give it to him before the real cold days. Being my first project ever, I was pretty fond of it (still am); when I look at it now it reminds me of how slowly I used to crochet, and it makes me realize how much I've improved, too.

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.

Winter? / Inverno?

I don't know about the places where you live, but here we've seen such little snow that it doesn't feel like Winter at all, and I'm pretty upset about it, it's not natural at all!  Anyway, regardless the temperatures, the wool calls, so I'm always working on something. Here I'd like to show you my very first knitting project, a scarf I made as a birthday gift for my boyfriend. I know, it's not an original project at all, but I'm still very proud of it. Furthermore, the wool I made it with is special for us, as we bought it as we were on holiday by the sea this Autumn, and it's a wonderful yarn, the one I talked about in this post. Its color is much better that it is in the pictures, and it's oh so soft - I almost wanted to keep the scarf for myself! ; ) What do you think, you likey? Non so come sia da voi, ma qui c'è talmente poca neve che non sembra neanche inverno, e mi dispiace, anche perché non è affatto normale! In ogni c...
