November shades / Sfumature di Novembre

A cascade of fallen leaves that I can always bring with me!

Una cascata di foglie da portare sempre con me!



Do I have to write much about this shawl?
I don't think so, I'll just say some basic things: I love these Autumny shades, and I absolutely love this leafy pattern, so guess what? I'm in love with the finished shawl! : )
It's big enough to wrap around the torso and be tied behind the back - consider I'm 1.75m tall and not exactly thin...
Yarn is Maddison Colorado, colorway # 11. Lovely wool though 50% acrylic, quite soft and very nice to work with.

C'è bisogno che scriva molto riguardo questo scialle?
Non credo, mi limiterò a poche cose essenziali: amo le sfumature autunnali, e amo gli schemi che ricordano una cascata di foglie (qui quello che ho usato), perciò indovinate? Adoro questo scialle! : )
E' abbastanza grande da avvolgere il busto ed essere annodato dietro la schiena - contate che sono alta 1.75m e non proprio secca...
Il filato è Colorado del marchio Maddison, colore # 11. Bella lana anche se al 50% è acrilica, piuttosto morbida e piacevole da lavorare.

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.
