Collane tricot / Spool knitting necklaces

Un post rapido per condividere con voi un genere di lavoro di cui non vi ho mai parlato: le collane realizzate con la tecnica del tricotino. Il mio fidanzato ha la pazienza necessaria per creare le catenelle, più o meno lunghe, scegliamo insieme gli charm con cui abbellirle e poi io mi diverto ad assemblarle.

Cosa ne dite di queste nostre piccole creazioni?

Quello che mi piace di queste collane è che grazie alla maglia tubolare restano molto morbide e leggerissime, ideali da indossare anche nelle giornate più calde.

Per oggi vi mostro solo queste due bianche, ma ne abbiamo realizzate tante altre, e le trovate tutte sul nostro shop.

A quick post to share with you something I've never written about before: our spool knitting necklaces. My boyfriend's got the patience to make the tubes, then we choose the charms with which adorn them, and my job is the fun to put them together.

What do you think of these little creations?

What I like about these necklaces is that thanks to the tube they're very soft and they weigh almost nothing, so they're ideal to wear on hot days, too.

Today I'll show just a couple of them, but we've made a lot more, and you can find them all on our shop.

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.

Wishes and shawls / "Vorrei" e scialli

I can't believe how long it's been since my last post. I'd like to have something more to say, or better yet, I'd like to have more time to think about what to write and really write it down. But unfortunately, I don't. I'm sorry my blog isn't more inspirational, as many of yours are, I wish it was. It's just one of those moments, you know... I'm so busy with too many things. So, want to know what I'm up to these days? Well, there you go: I enjoy long walks in the woods together with my boyfriend every weekend (we're so lucky, I know, and I'm oh so thankful!). I crochet (and knit a bit) every time I can, though not as much as I wish. I try and take good care of my plants and especially my beloved cacti, which continue to grow in number and are preparing to bloom, some of them for the first time, and that's exciting. I also purchased some new hooks and knitting needles, and I'd like to tell you about them in the future, becaus...

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...
