Un fiore in mezzo alla neve? / A flower amid the snow?

No, non si tratta di neve, ma la gioia nel vedere questo fiore per me è stata simile a quella di quando scorgo i primi boccioli al disgelo... Condivido con voi questa foto, un pensiero virtuale per ringraziarvi delle letture e dei commenti. In questi giorni sono davvero indaffarata, mi sto avvicinando a quella che spero sarà una svolta - ma tornerò presto a scrivere qui...

No, that's not snow, but this flower for me was such a joy, just like seeing the first blossoms in springtime... I've decided to share this photo with you, as a virtual gift to thank you all for reading and commenting my posts. I'm really busy these days, I'm near what I hope will be a turning point in my life - but I'll be back soon writing here...

    Ho letto da qualche parte o mi è stato detto che chi disegna... però penso anche chi ricama , fotografa, .....nota i fiori ha un animo gentile...poi per me i fiori anche i più piccoli sono la massima espressione della grandiosità del creato.... buona giornata

    Love surprise flowers on cacti and succulents - as they are so rare they are even more special!
    Hope all goes well as you prepare for your turning point...

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...
