Arriva la Primavera / Spring is coming

Domani, lo sapete tutti, è il primo giorno di Primavera. Un giorno tanto atteso dopo i rigori dell'inverno, per quanto quest'anno la stagione fredda sia stata mite. Arriva il tempo delle energie ritrovate, delle idee che nascono e crescono come i fiori che sbocciano nei prati e sui rami degli alberi. Si avvicina la metà luminosa dell'anno, e la rinascita della terra e dei nostri spiriti ne è un primo segnale. Alla vigilia di questo giorno speciale condivido con voi uno degli ultimi lavori pensati per il freddo: un paio di guanti senza dita da indossare nelle giornate di primavera in cui ci sarà il sole ma l'aria sarà pungente, o la neve lascerà il posto alla pioggia e all'umido. Non so voi, ma io patisco molto il freddo alle mani, perciò uso i guanti per tanti mesi all'anno, non solo in pieno inverno. Per chi è come me ho creato questi guantini nei toni dei fiori di campo che cominciano a colorare il nuovo verde dei miei monti...
Alcune di voi forse ricorderanno uno dei miei primi post in cui vi mostravo un paio di guanti regalati a Natale (qui)... questa lana mi è piaciuta talmente tanto che ho deciso di lavorarla nuovamente, questa volta per creare qualcosa di più primaverile...

Tomorrow, as you all know, is the first day of Spring. This is a much awaited day after the cold Winter, though this year it's been a mild season. Now comes the time of new-found energies, of ideas that come to life and grow just like the flowers that bloom in the meadows and on the branches. The bright half of the year is nearing, and the rebirth of the earth and of our spirits is a first signal of this. On this special day's eve I want to share with you one of the last works I've made for cold days: a pair of fingerless gloves to wear during those spring days when there's the sun but the wind is still biting, or when the snow will make way for the rain and the dampness. I don't know about you, but my hands are very sensitive to cold temperatures, so I usually wear gloves for many months during the year, not only in the middle of Winter. For those who are like me I've made these small gloves, choosing a yarn in the shades of the wild flowers that are beginning to colour the new green on my mountains...
Some of you might remember on of my first post where I showed you a pair of gloves I made as a Xmas gift (here)... I liked the yarn so much that I decided to work with it once more, this time to create something more springy...


Se vi piacciono questi guanti coloratissimi potete trovarli nel mio shop, o se preferite potete contattarmi via e-mail.

If you like this multi-coloured fingerless gloves you can find them for sale in my shop, or you can send me an e-mail.

  1. Non so da te ma da me la primavera è arrivata da diversi giorni, potresti fare i guantini in cotone, come quelli che usava Madonna negli anni '80, mi sembra di aver visto un ritorno di quello stile, ma non sono un'esperta. Ciao, Anna. Happy spring.

  4. Very pretty! So colorful, fresh and positive, really "good mood handwarmers" :-). I like gloves and handwarmers very much and making them is a lot of fun, but funnily I wear them rarely :o). Have a wonderful weekend, dear!!

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...
