Verde innevato / Snowy green

Oggi vi mostro due lavori insieme, perché presi singolarmente rendono, ma credo che diano il meglio di sé abbinati, in qualche modo si mettono in risalto a vicenda. Amo le tonalità più scure del verde, specie lo smeraldo, perciò appena ho trovato una lana di questo colore ne ho acquistata una discreta quantità, in attesa di trovare l’ispirazione per trasformarla in qualcosa da indossare. Ho optato per un collo (o infinity scarf, non so se e quale sia la differenza), il primo che ho realizzato, scegliendo come motivo il bel pattern di Ana. I mezzi guanti sono arrivati dopo aver trovato un unico gomito sfumato nei toni del verdone e del bianco. Anche se collo e guanti sono nati separati trovo che si accompagnino bene, i loro colori nella neve mi ricordano le pinete imbiancate che fanno brillare di verde anche l’inverno…

Today I’m showing you two works, because they’re nice by themselves, but I think that together they’re even better, someway they highlight each other. I love the darkest shades of green, especially emerald, so as soon as I found it in yarns I bought a discrete quantity of it, waiting for the inspiration to create something with them to come. I decided to make myself a cowl (or infinity scarf, not sure about the difference), my very first, and as a pattern I chose this very pretty one by Ana. The fingerless gloves came some time after, when I happened to find a lonely yarn in the shades of even darker green and white. Even if the cowl and the gloves were born separately I think they mesh well, and their colours remind me of the snowy pinewoods that make the Winter shine with green as well…

  1. Il tuo collo è di un bel verde, e il punto non è da meno. Ciao, Anna. P.s. dispiace che l'inverno stia finendo (almeno da me) perchè non si potranno indossare questi caldi abbinamenti.

  5. A wonderful set, Melatia! ♥ I like this pattern very much, too, and it looks great in that green. The gloves' color combination with white is very nice. About the expression, I'm not 100% sure, but on my blogland journeys I got the following impression: Scarf - a long piece with two ends. Cowl - a round piece with no ends, goes 1 time around your neck. Loop or infinity scarf - a round piece with no ends, goes 2 or more times around your neck. Greetings, Nata :-)

  7. Questo abbinamento è proprio di mio gusto e i guanti non ho ancora provato a farli ma mi piacciono davvero tanto . Credo che il collo sia quello da infilare e basta , tipo un tubo , mentre l'infinity è una sciarpa lunga ma unita in modo da poterla arrotolare . Ops ! Mi sono accorta adesso che qualcuno ti aveva già risposto....
    Fa niente , ti abbraccio e 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...
