Notturno / Nocturne

La notte ha sempre una magia particolare che sfugge anche al più bello dei giorni...

Night's always magical in a way that eludes even the brightest day...


Un ringraziamento a tutte le mie lettrici vecchie e nuove, le vostre parole e i vostri post sono una grande fonte di ispirazione!

I just wanted to thank all my readers, the old and the new ones - your words and your posts are a great source of inspiration!

Aggiungo anche, visto che molte di voi sono amanti delle piante, che se vi interessasse cimentarvi in una semina di cactus e vi piacerebbe ritrovarvi tra qualche anno con qualcosa del genere potete scrivermi, vi manderei più che volentieri i suoi semi!

I also wanted to tell you, since many of you love plants, that if you're interested in trying to sow cactus plants and you'd like to have something like this in a few years, please write me, I'd be more than glad to send you its seeds!

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.

Tunisian crochet hooks, pt. 1 / Uncinetti tunisini, parte 1

When it comes to Tunisian crochet, one of the first issues people face is: which hooks should I choose? I decided to write about my own experience in 2 or 3 posts, and hopefully help some of you. When I first wanted to try Tunisian crochet, I only had a couple of long hooks at home, and they were definitely too thin for a newbie, like 2,5 mm or such. So I headed to a local store and bought me a nice 5 mm one. It was the classic  long, straight aluminium hook with a plastic stopper at one end and a pretty rounded tip at the other end , branded Pony. I practiced a bit with it, and  I struggled because of the rounded tip . I didn't give up, though: I purchased some bigger sizes by the same brand, which were  double-ended and all plastic .  I couldn't use those to save my life . The yarn didn't glide on them, and using them hurt my wrist terribly. Silly newbie I was, I blamed it all on the technique itself and took a pause from it, even though I did enjoy it...
