Bomboniere / Party favors

Vi presento alcuni dei lavori che ci hanno tenuti occupati negli ultimi giorni, delle bomboniere per una cresima, appena finite e pronte per la consegna. Cosa ne pensate? : ) Abbiamo fatto da noi i quadrifogli di gesso, aromatizzati al muschio bianco. Per 10 bomboniere sono stati usati dentro il sacchettino, in altri 10 accompagnano i confetti come decorazione esterna.

Today I'd like to show you some of the items we've been working on lately, some confirmation party favors, just finished and ready to be delivered. What do you think about them? : ) We've made the chalk clovers on our own, and we perfumed them with white musk. For 10 party favors they're inside the little bag, while the other 10 have sugared almonds inside and the clovers are glued outside the bag.


Aggiungo che non ho abbandonato il mio amato uncinetto, tutt'altro, solo che sono occupatissima e non riesco ad aggiornare spesso quanto vorrei il mio blog, in ogni caso presto vi mostrerò qualche nuova creazione... nel frattempo auguro a tutte una buona settimana!

I want to add that I haven't forgotten my beloved crochet, quite the contrary, I'm just too busy and I can't keep up with the blog as much as I'd like to, anyway I'll soon show you some new creations... in the meantime, I wish you all a lovely week!

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.
