Couple of scarves

Hello fellow crafters! How's your new year going?
I've been busy working on several projects, a couple of which I'm gonna show you today: these are two scarves I made for one of my friends' Mum, both using my beloved Tunisian crochet, first one in arrowhead stitch, second one in simple stitch. Do you think these will be appreciated?
Also on my hooks are a cardigan which I'm also writing a pattern for (hear ye, hear ye!), and a crobaktus made with regular crochet (this will have a pattern soon, too), so as usual I don't have much time to write on my blog. This is the main reason why I've decided not to write in Italian on this blog anymore: it takes too much of my time, and since most of my readers are from other countries anyway I don't really see the point anymore, soo... well, that's about it. I'm curious to read your opinions about these scarves!
Oh, some of you may be curious about the yarns I've used: for the first one I chose a yarn I had in my stash, and I lost the tag. All I remember is that it's by a German brand, and it's partially bamboo. Darn. Second one is called "Florida", by B.B.B. Filati, shade 06. I used a 15,75 mm hook to work the first one, and a 17 mm hook for the second one - yes, I do love big hooks!

    Wonderful scarfs! They look airy and warm at the same time -). I especially love the colors of the second one! Have a nice evening :-)

    I like this light-violet scarf. It feels so gentle and warm.

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. ...

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 c...

Finished! / Finito!

Hello ladies! How was your weekend? Hope it all goes well! I'm here to show my finally finished baby cardigan, remember ? I've already told you about the wool I used in my latest post, so I won't bore you any longer - just a quick note: if you happen to find it and you've got some knitting baby project in mind definitely try it out! It's thin but grows quickly, it's incredibly soft and it took me less than 100 g on 3.5 mm needles to finish this cardigan, which should fit a 6 months old. Ciao a tutte! Com'è andato il fine settimana? Spero tutto bene! Sono qui per mostrarvi il golfino di cui vi avevo parlato, vi ricordate ? Vi ho già parlato nello scorso post della lana che ho usato, quindi non vi annoierò oltre - solo un appunto veloce: se vi capita di trovarla e avete in mente di sferruzzare qualcosa per un bimbo provatela! E' sottile ma cresce in fretta, è incredibilmente morbida, e mi sono bastati meno di 100 g (su ferri da 3.5 mm) per que...
