Mani ghiacciate / Frozen hands

Anche se i raggi del sole scaldano più del solito per la stagione sulle vette dei miei monti c'è ancora tanta neve. E' ancora tempo di lana che mi tenga al caldo le mani mentre passeggio nei boschi cercando di scorgere primule, anemoni e altri fiori precursori della primavera...

Although the sun is warmer than it usually is in this season, on the top of my mountains there's still a lot of snow. It's still a time for wool, to keep my hands warm as I roam through the woods trying to spot primroses, anemones and other wild flowers who announce the coming of springtime...

  3. Questi guanti si portano sempre volentieri, oggi per esempio qui era una bella giornata ma ventosa e non mi davano fastidio. Sono belli, però non riesco a capire se sono all'uncinetto o ai ferri.

And here's the Dragon! / Ecco il Drago!

Remember the Dragon Tail scarf/shawl I began some time ago? Well, last week I managed to finish it, and I'm oh so proud of it. Not only it's my first Tunisian crochet project, but it also turned out great, big and cosy and oh so soft (this thanks to the lovely yarn Géraldine sent me, Phil Bambou Laine by Phildar). It is 2 m long from tip to tip and 45 cm wide by the last scale, and the last row counts 110 stitches, which are quite a lot... : ) As I already wrote I strongly recommend this if you want to try Tunisian crochet, it's easy, good fun and you get a nice original item to wear. You might find this tutorial by Julia Marquardt helpful, but if you want to get one that's exactly like mine you have to change the pattern a little bit: I followed the instructions by a great designer, MariaGrazia Berno , who modified it a bit in order to obtain a scarf/shawl that curls up more. Her pattern says to increase of two stitches at the end of every row, just before the se...

Yule

These are the days of Yule, a very special time of the year for most of us, when the Light is reborn and back in our lives. So even if the Solstice is gone, I still want to wish you all to have some wonderful days ahead, whatever you celebrate, and a happy 2015!  I'll be back... well, next year, so have some great holidays, and talk to you in 2015! Questi sono i giorni di Yule, un momento dell'anno speciale per molti di noi, giorni in cui la Luce ritorna nelle nostre vite. Allora, anche se il Solstizio è passato, voglio augurarvi di passare dei bellissimi giorni, qualunque ricorrenza celebriate, e anche un felice anno nuovo! Io tornerò a scrivere... beh, l'anno prossimo, quindi buone vacanze, ci sentiamo nel 2015!
