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

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

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.

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.
