Granny squares

Qualche tempo fa mi sono "regalata" una fascia per capelli composta da una serie di granny squares di cotone nero, molto semplice, il classico complemento da indossare con tutto, per comodità. Devo dire però che le care vecchie mattonelle della nonna fanno sempre la loro figura, perché nel giro di pochi giorni mi è stato chiesto di realizzarne una, questa di un colore più vivace, che la sua futura proprietaria ha scelto tra i gomitoli a a mia disposizione (quanto è comodo a volte avere un'esagerazione di filati!). 
Detto fatto, un paio di giorni dopo la sua fascia estiva e colorata è pronta per essere indossata!

Some time ago I made a headband (or hairband, I don't know which is more correct) made of a series of granny squares as a small gift for myself, and for it I chose a black cotton yarn, really plain, an item that goes with anything, just for comfort. I must say though that the good ol' granny squares always make a good impression, because a few days later I was asked to crochet another one; its future owner chose the colour among the yarns I had (sometimes having too many of them is a blessing!).
No sooner said than done, a couple of days later here's her summery and colourful headband, ready to be worn!

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...
