Colori fuori stagione? / Out of season colours?

Un post veloce per mostrarvi uno dei lavori che ho realizzato a inizio mese, una richiesta per un regalo di compleanno, un set di cappello e sciarpa. Ho scelto lana 100 % acrilica e anallergica per necessità del destinatario, e ho unito due filati per creare i gomitoli con cui ho lavorato, scegliendo i colori preferiti del festeggiato. Mentre lavoravo pensavo che sarebbero i colori ideali da indossare nel periodo di Samhain (o Halloween), comunque nel tardo autunno, ma anche adesso non stonano, soprattutto nella neve. Il regalo in ogni caso è piaciuto molto, e a qualche settimana di distanza mi è stato confermato che entrambi i capi non danno problemi di irritazioni, perciò mi ritengo, ancora una volta, soddisfatta.

A quick post to show you one of the works I made in the beginning of February, a request for a birthday present, a matching hat and scarf. I used 100 % acrylic and anallergic wool, according to their future owner needs, and I combined the yarns myself to create the colour I was looking for, choosing the birthday boy favourite ones. As I worked I kept thinking these colours would be great to wear during Samhain (or Halloween) time, or in late Autumn anyway, but they look pretty nice in this period of the year too, especially among the snow. Their owner liked both items a lot, and he recently told me that neither of them causes him irritation problems, so I can say I'm once again satisfied with what I made.

  1. What a perfect gift!! Beautiful. I agree, nice colors for Samhain time but also a wonderful color spot in grey February days, a hopeful ray of the light to come ;-). And it's wonderful that the set causes no allergic problems to the birthday boy! Great job, Melatia :-)

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. ...

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...

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...
