Vacanza / Holiday

Ebbene sì, dopo tanti mesi riesco a concedermi una vacanza. Ho un sacco di progetti in mente e ho bisogno di tempo per svilupparli al meglio, perciò oggi parto per passerò una quindicina di giorni in uno dei miei luoghi dell'anima, tanto diverso e per certi versi tanto simile al posto in cui vivo... 
Avrò accesso limitato alla rete perciò non riuscirò a venirvi a trovare e a lasciare commenti sui vostri post, e per questo mi scuso in anticipo, ma prometto che recupererò appena rientrata!! Potrò comunque a controllare le mail, perciò se vorrete contattarmi scrivetemi e vi risponderò entro 24-48 ore.
Auguro a tutte voi due splendide settimane creative, in attesa di risentirci con tante novità!

Yeah, after many months I'm finally allowing myself to go on a holiday. I've got lots of projects in my mind and I need time to develop them the best I can, so I'm leaving today to spend a couple of weeks in one of my soul's places, so different and somehow so similar to where I live... 
I'm going to have limited access to the web, so I won't be able to visit your blogs and to comment on your posts, I apologize, but I'll catch up as soon as I'm back, I promise!! I'll be able to check the e-mails anyway, so if you want to contact me write me all the same, you'll get an answer within 24-48 hours.
I wish you all two wonderful creative weeks, I'll be back with lots of news!

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. ...

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.

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...
