E' sempre l'ora del tè! / It's always tea time!

Mi sono accorta che è passato un sacco di tempo dall'ultima volta che vi ho mostrato un mio lavoro all'uncinetto. Non pensiate che non abbia più lavorato, anzi, sto imparando diverse nuove tecniche che mi portano via molto tempo, ma qualche lavoretto sono comunque riuscita a finirlo, come questa tovaglietta. Quando ho visto questo cotone l'ho comprato al volo, come sempre senza sapere di preciso cosa ne avrei fatto - mi piaceva troppo il colore. Poi l'ispirazione: perché non provare a fare una tovaglietta per l'ora del tea? Essendo di una sfumatura così vivace credo che ispiri il buonumore solo a guardarla, e il motivo granny secondo me non stanca mai. Voi cosa ne pensate?

I realized that it's been a very long time since I last showed you some crochet. Don't think that I haven't been working lately, on the contrary, I'm busy learning some new techniques that take much of my time, but I've been able to make some new items, like this placemat. When I saw this cotton I immediately bought it, though I had no idea what to do with it - I just loved the shade. Then I had the idea to try and make a tea time placemat! Its shade being so bright I think it makes you in a good mood just by watching it, and I do believe that you can never grow tired of the granny patterns. What do you think about it?





Il set da tea della mia bisnonna mi sembra ci si accompagni proprio bene, ma non è in vendita, invece la tovaglietta sì, la trovate come sempre sul mio shop! ; )
My great-grandmother's tea set goes amazingly well with it in my opinion, but that's not for sale, only the placemat is, and you can find it as always in my shop! ; )

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. ...

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...

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.
