Ottobre / October

E' iniziato uno dei miei mesi preferiti dell'anno.
Le giornate si stanno visibilmente accorciando, le temperature scendono, le nebbie sottili abbracciano gli alberi e le loro foglie si colorano e volano accompagnate dai venti dell'autunno.
Per inaugurare al meglio questa bellissima stagione mi sono regalata uno scialle nelle sfumature che tra poco assumeranno le fronde intorno a me. Si tratta di un enorme granny triangle dotato di frange, morbidissimo e avvolgente.

One of my favourite months of the year has just begun.
The days are getting visibly shorter, temperatures lower, thin mists embrace the trees and the leaves get all coloured and fly away with the winds of Autumn.
To start this lovely season in the best way possible I crocheted myself this shawl, its shades being those of the foliage that will soon surround me. This shawl is in fact an enormous granny triangle with fringes, very soft and embracing.

 
Sarà perché amo i grannies in tutte le loro forme, sarà perché adoro l'autunno, fatto sta che non ho fatto in tempo a finirlo che già lo indossavo!
 
Maybe it's because I love all types of grannies, maybe it's because I adore Autumn, I had barely finished it and I was alreay wearing it! 
 
Vi lascio con questa prima opera autunnale e un caro saluto a tutte voi che mi leggete e commentate: domenica partirò per una vacanza lunghetta, quindi per un paio di settimane non passerò a trovarvi. 
 
Vi auguro un fantastico Ottobre, pieno di misteri da scorgere tra le nebbie... 
 
I'm leaving you with this first Autumnal item and a goodbye, my dear readers: I'm leaving Sunday for a pretty long holiday, so for a couple of weeks I won't visit your blogs.
 
I wish you all a lovely October, full of glimpses of mystery between the mists...
 
Per chi fosse interessato al prodotto: questo scialle l'ho realizzato per me, ma su richiesta è possibile averne uno del colore e della misura che preferite! Potete contattarmi tramite il blog o visitare il mio shop! ; )
 
For those who may be interested: I made this shawl for myself, but I can make others by request, so you can choose the colours and size you like best! You can contact me through my blog, or you can visit 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.
