I colori del mare/ The colours of the sea

Dopo quasi tre settimane di mare è stato strano tornare ai miei boschi. Non vivo così lontano dal mare, e almeno un paio di volte all'anno torno in quel posto per me così speciale con la persona più speciale della mia vita, il che rende il soggiorno ancora più piacevole... Ma bando alle romanticherie! Vi chiederete forse cos'ho combinato durante la mia lunga pausa. Sarò sincera, non moltissimo, e soprattutto non quanto avrei voluto, ma ho intenzione di recuperare nei prossimi giorni. Questa primavera si sta rivelando piena di idee, e mi sono ripromessa di riuscire a realizzarle tutte, qualcuna da sola, molte insieme alla persona speciale di cui sopra, perciò ancora più impaziente di sperimentare... ma di queste ultime vi parlerò solo una volta che saranno realtà! ; )

Oggi vi mostro uno dei lavori che ho realizzato al mare, e al mare è ispirato, al mare che io amo di più, quello scuro e mosso sotto un cielo tempestoso - anche se non credo stonerebbe sotto un bel cielo montano: un cappello alla pescatora realizzato in cotone morbidissimo e sfumato dall'azzurro chiaro al blu scuro passando per varie tonalità intermedie. Il filato l'ho comprato prima di partire e l'ho portato con me sperando di trovare l'ispirazione per crearci qualcosa, e in effetti dopo pochi giorni è arrivata... a volte riposarsi fa miracoli!

E' la prima volta che faccio un cappello del genere e mi piace molto com'è venuto, però mi interessano le vostre opinioni: voi cosa ne dite? : )

After almost three weeks by the sea it was weird to return to my woods. I don't live much far from the sea, and at least a couple of times a year I go back to that special place with the most special person in my life, which makes the holiday even better... But stop with sentimentality! You may be wondering what I've been doing during my long pause. Honestly not much, and not as much as I would have wanted to, but I mean to work harder in the next days. This Spring is turning out full of ideas, and I really want to make them all come true, some by myself, some together with the special person I was talking about before, so I'm even more impatient to experiment... but I'll talk about these only when they will have become true! ; )

Today I'm showing you one of the works I made while I was away, the sea inspired it to me, the sea I love the best, the dark and wavy one under a stormy sky - though I believe this item wouldn't clash under a nice mountain sky, neither: a bucket hat made with the softest cotton in the shades of blue, from light to dark through various tones. I bought the thread before I left and I brought it with me hoping to find the inspiration to turn it into something, and in fact inspiration came just a few days after... sometimes all we need is a good rest!

It's the first bucket hat I've ever made and I really like how it turned out, but I'm curious about your opinions: what do you think about it? : )


Se vi piacerebbe per voi o per un regalo per la bella stagione trovate anche lui nel mio shop, o se preferite potete contattarmi via e-mail.

If you'd like it for you or to make a gift for the warm season, you can find it for sale in my shop too, or you can send me an e-mail.

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...
