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.

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...
