Vi piace il viola? / Do you like purple?

Un gomitolo di un bel viola brillante, unico del suo colore in mezzo a tutti gli altri, ha catturato la mia attenzione. L'ho portato a casa e nel giro di poco l'ho trasformato in questo cappellino dal sapore vintage, per me decisamente inusuale... guardandolo infatti continuo a pensare ai copricapo che andavano per la maggiore tra gli anni 20 e 30 del secolo scorso... D'altra parte, ultimamente mi sto dedicando a diverse cose nuove, perciò forse non dovrei stupirmi...
Voi cosa ne dite del risultato?

A nice bright purple ball, the only one of this colour amid all the others, caught my eye. I brought it home with me and in a short time I made it into this kind of vintage hat, which is pretty unusual for me... looking at it though I can't help but think of the hats they used to wear back in the 1920s and 1930s... After all, I've been experimenting new things a lot, lately, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised...
Anyway, what do you think about it?

    Il colore è davvero primaverile, come il cappellino, adatto a proteggere dal sole e dal vento, ricorda molto i modelli vintage . Io non uso i cappelli, ma mi piace tanto vederli indossati !

    A me il viola non piace,ma il cappellino sì.Un tempo non li usavo,ora sempre:d'inverno quelli di lana che mi riparano dal freddo e mi risparmiano un sacco di magagne(anche perchè io vado spesso in bici e l'aria gelida punge!) e d'estate per riparami dal sole.Questo è un bel modello:semplice e mettibile senza problemi!

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

And here's the Dragon! / Ecco il Drago!

Remember the Dragon Tail scarf/shawl I began some time ago? Well, last week I managed to finish it, and I'm oh so proud of it. Not only it's my first Tunisian crochet project, but it also turned out great, big and cosy and oh so soft (this thanks to the lovely yarn Géraldine sent me, Phil Bambou Laine by Phildar). It is 2 m long from tip to tip and 45 cm wide by the last scale, and the last row counts 110 stitches, which are quite a lot... : ) As I already wrote I strongly recommend this if you want to try Tunisian crochet, it's easy, good fun and you get a nice original item to wear. You might find this tutorial by Julia Marquardt helpful, but if you want to get one that's exactly like mine you have to change the pattern a little bit: I followed the instructions by a great designer, MariaGrazia Berno , who modified it a bit in order to obtain a scarf/shawl that curls up more. Her pattern says to increase of two stitches at the end of every row, just before the se

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.
