Arriva il freddo / Cold is coming

Ciao a tutte le mie lettrici! Sono stata a lungo lontana dal blog, ma non sono stata inattiva per quanto riguarda i progetti all'uncinetto, tutt'altro. Il fatto è che ci sono tante cose da mostrare, ma anche tanto da fare in questi giorni, quindi arrivati a questo punto rimanderò tutto a Novembre. 
Il mese di Ottobre è così, in bilico tra l'autunno e l'inverno, tra la luce e il buio... con Samhain alle porte si tende ad essere introspettivi, a guardare indietro verso cosa abbiamo fatto e in avanti verso quello che ci auguriamo di riuscire a fare... insomma, tra i pensieri e gli impegni mi è rimasto davvero poco tempo da dedicare a questo piccolo spazio virtuale. 
In ogni caso oggi ho deciso di condividere con voi un progetto realizzato il mese scorso. Sono tornata ad uno dei miei primi amori uncinettosi, i manicotti di lana, questa volta in versione extra calda e con l'aggiunta di una treccia a vivacizzare il classico colore beige. Purtroppo la foto non rende bene, dovrò scattarne una migliore, ma ci tenevo a sapere cosa ne pensate!

Hello to all my dear readers! I've been away from my blog for quite some time, but I haven't been lazy with crochet at all. Thing is, there are too many items to show, but also too many things to do these days, so I decided to show you all in November.
The month of October is just like this, in the balance between Autumn and Winter, between light and shadow... with Samhain coming we tend to be introspective, to look back toward what we did and to look ahead forward what we wish we'll be able to do... so, between all these thoughts and tasks I have very little time for this little virtual space.
Anyway, today I decided to share with you something I did last month. I went back to one of my first crochet crushes, the wool fingerless gloves, this time in an super cozy and long version, with an extra cable to juice up their classic beige colour.
Unfortunately this photo doesn't do them justice, I must definitely take a better one, but in the meantime I wanted to know what you all dearies think about these!

  2. Mi piacciono molto, originali!

    p.s. Mi sono trovata benissimo con l'uncinetto col cavo, pensavo che quella specie di codina col tappetto finale fosse d'impiccio, invece sono comodissimi, poi con i connettori si possono unire vari cavi e lavorare misure impensabili con gli uncinetti tunisini normali.

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...
