Giorni di pioggia / Rainy days

In questo insolito febbraio piove molto. Nel bosco durante le ore più fredde della giornata la neve prende il sopravvento e fiocchi fradici inzuppano la terra. Scacciare l'umidità dalle ossa è impossibile, allora cerchiamo di scaldarci come meglio possiamo: una buona tazza di tè e tanta lana, anche in casa. In queste circostanze trovo veramente utili gli scaldacollo, perciò ne approfitto per farvene vedere un altro (qui il primo), fatto di recente con un solo gomitolo da 50 g di ciniglia bouclé. Superfluo dire che è morbidissimo, è anche molto molto caldo, il che lo rende ancora più piacevole da indossare.

It's been raining a lot during this strange February. Here in the woods the coldest hours of the day bring some snow and wet snowflakes drench the earth. Chasing away the feeling of being damp to the bones is impossible, so we try to warm ourselves the best way we can: with a good cup of tea and a lot of wool, even when at home. Given these circumstances I find neckwarmers to be really of use, so I've decided to show you another one (here's the first), recently made with just a 50 g bouclé chenille yarn. Needless to say it's the softest thing I've ever made, it's also very warm, which makes it even more lovely to wear.


Un piccolo aggiornamento serale: basta pioggia, è iniziata una nevicata molto intensa... fortunatamente siamo al caldo... :)

A small evening update: the rain has stopped, it now snows heavily... fortunately, we're home - and warm... :)

  1. Colori molto caldi e belli. E' vero, anch'io speravo nell'arrivo della primavera ma credo che lo scaldacollo lo porteremo per parecchio tempo ancora, più per l'umidità che per il freddo. A presto.

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...
