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.

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.

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...
