    1. Ciao Anna! Ho pensato di iniziare con una cosa semplice, uno scaldacollo, anche se mi sembra che non finisca più... xD

  2. Che bello! Ingrandendo la foto ho capito che è l'uncinetto tunisino, mai provato ad usarlo, difficile?

    1. Grazie, spero che a lavoro ultimato rimanga bene!
      Io sono al mio secondo tentativo e comincio a prenderci la mano, trovo sia una via di mezzo tra l'uncinetto corto e i ferri, che invece non riesco assolutamente ad usare, perciò forse per chi lavora bene a maglia, come te, è più facile... Cmq ho visto che si può usare tranquillamente un uncinetto corto per provare, se vuoi farti un'idea di com'è... : )

  7. Very pretty! I like Tunesian crochet, too, although I have to admit that I didn't make much with it. A map for my crochet hooks I got finished and used, and a bowl I never finished :D. But it's an interesting kind of crochet and your scarf looks great, I like that yarn as well. If that long hook is too unhandy: I've seen that also circular Tunesian hooks are available, with a rope like knitting circular needles. Maybe they would be better? But I still have to try them myself, too, I also have got only that normal long stiff Tunesian hooks ;-).

Tunisian crochet hooks - Pt. 4 / Uncinetti tunisini - Parte 4

In 3 past posts I talked about a variety of Tunisian crochet hooks ( part 1 , part 2 , part 3 ), sharing my experiences and opinions with you all. In this post I'm gonna write a very specific kind: BIG hooks. Bulky and super bulky yarns are a reality, these days . If you like these kinds of yarns, you might seriously consider trying them with Tunisian crochet. Especially if you use simple stitches, like Tunisian simple stitch or Tunisian knit stitch, this technique really makes the texture of both stitch's and fabric stand out . I'm not a sucker for gigantic yarns and hooks, normally, but I do think that, a few times a year,  crocheting with big hooks is lots of fun . Question is, where to find those really big Tunisian hooks? Denise sets go up to 15 mm hooks , but what if we want even bigger ones? Well, not to worry: ChiaoGoo makes Tunisian hooks with flexible cords up to 25 mm ! ChiaoGoo's are bamboo hooks, wonderfully smooth, with a nicely pointed tip , and...

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.
