Sarà... granny chic? // Could this be... granny chic?

Ciao a tutte! Avete passato un bel ponte del 1° maggio? Io sono stata indaffaratissima, come al solito ultimamente, ma molto soddisfatta! : ) Spero che la vostra settimana sia iniziata bene, la mia devo dire di sì: ieri sera ho finalmente finito il mio primo copricuscino! Mi sono divertita tanto a lavorare queste due grosse mattonelle e poi a unirle insieme con un bordino classico a ventagli, sempre d'effetto, trovo... ora mi domandavo, come definire lo stile di questo lavoro? Granny è granny, e su questo non ci sono dubbi, ma questo colore è chic? Secondo me sì, perciò almeno per me sarà granny chic! : )
Che ne dite, vi piace?

Hello everybody! Have you had a nice 1st of May and weekend? I've been very busy, as usual as of late, but I'm really satisfied! : ) I hope your week started off well, mine did: yesterday evening I finally finished my first cushion cover! I've had lots of fun crocheting these two big squares and then putting them together with a classic shell edge, an evergreen... now I was wondering, how would you call this item's style? It's granny, for sure, but is this colour chic? I believe it is, so for me at least it's gonna be called granny chic! : )
What do you think about it, you likey?

Yule

These are the days of Yule, a very special time of the year for most of us, when the Light is reborn and back in our lives. So even if the Solstice is gone, I still want to wish you all to have some wonderful days ahead, whatever you celebrate, and a happy 2015!  I'll be back... well, next year, so have some great holidays, and talk to you in 2015! Questi sono i giorni di Yule, un momento dell'anno speciale per molti di noi, giorni in cui la Luce ritorna nelle nostre vite. Allora, anche se il Solstizio è passato, voglio augurarvi di passare dei bellissimi giorni, qualunque ricorrenza celebriate, e anche un felice anno nuovo! Io tornerò a scrivere... beh, l'anno prossimo, quindi buone vacanze, ci sentiamo nel 2015!

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...

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...
