Winter? / Inverno?

I don't know about the places where you live, but here we've seen such little snow that it doesn't feel like Winter at all, and I'm pretty upset about it, it's not natural at all! 
Anyway, regardless the temperatures, the wool calls, so I'm always working on something. Here I'd like to show you my very first knitting project, a scarf I made as a birthday gift for my boyfriend. I know, it's not an original project at all, but I'm still very proud of it. Furthermore, the wool I made it with is special for us, as we bought it as we were on holiday by the sea this Autumn, and it's a wonderful yarn, the one I talked about in this post. Its color is much better that it is in the pictures, and it's oh so soft - I almost wanted to keep the scarf for myself! ; )
What do you think, you likey?

Non so come sia da voi, ma qui c'è talmente poca neve che non sembra neanche inverno, e mi dispiace, anche perché non è affatto normale!
In ogni caso, la lana chiama indipendentemente dalle temperature, quindi sono sempre impegnata a lavorare a qualcosa.
Oggi vi mostro il mio primo capo realizzato ai ferri, una sciarpa che ho regalato al mio fidanzato per il suo compleanno. Lo so, non è molto originale come primo progetto, ma ne sono comunque molto orgogliosa. Inoltre la lana con cui l'ho fatta è speciale per noi, dato che l'abbiamo comprata mentre eravamo al mare insieme quest'autunno, ed è una lana splendida, quella di cui vi avevo parlato in questo post. Il colore è molto meglio dal vivo, ed è morbidissima - volevo quasi tenere la sciarpa per me! ; )
Cosa ne dite, vi piace?





Talking about other things, I'd like to thank all of you who left a nice note on my latest post. My belated friend loved technology and he appreciated the web very much, so I'm sure he smiled from up there seeing how far my few words about him went. So thank you, really, it meant a lot to me.

Parlando di altro, vorrei ringraziare chi di voi che ha lasciato un commento nel mio ultimo post. Il mio amico amava la tecnologia e apprezzava molto il web, quindi sono sicura che abbia sorriso da lassù vedendo quanto lontane sono arrivate le mie poche parole scritte per lui.

  10. Bella , sembra anche molto calda ! So che la neve è in arrivo sui monti, quindi sarai accontentata . Io ho davanti i mesi più freddi e umidi dell'anno , qui in Sicilia lo chiamano inverno , ma per me è piuttosto sopportabile ! A presto

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...
