Una nuova settimana / A new week

Ultimamente sto aggiornando pochissimo il mio blog, lo so, e mi dispiace, ma sono presissima da tante cose, perciò spero avrete pazienza... intanto vi regalo un fiore del sole che si è aperto oggi in un breve istante in cui la luce è riuscita ad attraversare le nubi... 
Buon inizio di settimana a tutte e... a presto!

I haven't been updating my blog lately, I know, and I'm sorry, but I'm really busy with lots of other things, so I hope you'll pardon me... in the meantime here's for you a flower of the Sun who bloomed today during a brief moment when the light broke through the clouds...
Have a nice new week everybody and... see you all soon!

    Grazie del fiore ...quelli delle piante grasse sono sempre bellissimi ma durano un solo giorno (generalmente) Buona serata.

    Wow, congratulation! What a wonderful blossom ♥. You really must have a "green thumb". I never got a cactus to bloom in my life up to now (only kalanchoes ;-)). ~ Don't think about time, just enjoy whatever you're doing!! Hugs, Nata

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...
