Determinazione / Resolution

Di quante tecniche vi ho parlato in questi mesi? Uncinetto, knooking, uncinetto tunisino... ma in fin dei conti il mio sogno è sempre stata la maglia, che non sono mai riuscita ad imparare, nonostante gli sforzi. Si vede che fino a ieri non era il momento giusto, perché ieri sera ho chiesto per l'ennesima volta alla mia paziente mamma di spiegarmi come si fa, perché questa volta non ho avuto nessun problema!
 
Così, finalmente...
 
How many techniques have I written about during these months? Crochet, knooking, tunisian crochet... but in the end my dream has always been knitting, and I'd never been able to learn how to do it, though I tried really hard. Well, maybe the time just wasn't right before yesterday evening, when I asked my patient mum for the umpteenth time to explain me how it's done, because this time I had no problem!

So, finally...

    Brava, brava, brava.....ancora brava... perché vedo che stai imparando con il ferro circolare.....i
    Ti rispondo qui: mio marito prima sgrana le melagrane, poi, non avendo la centrifuga, le passa con il passaverdura oppure con il mixer e poi cola tutto con un passino a maglie larghe .....ed è buonissimo e bellissimo il colore...Sereno week end

    Pensa che la maglia è stata la prima cosa che ho imparato(la mia mamma era super brava e mi aveva insegnato fin da piccola),ma proprio non mi piace.Tanto mi diverte l'un inetto tanto mi annoiano i ferri..vai a capire il perché! E mi spiace molto perché i capi d'abbigliamento (come cardigan o maglioni)li preferisco lavorati a maglia,per esempio...Sei stata brava a insistere e ora ti si aprirà un mondo nuovo...un altro!

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.
