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 :-)

Tunisian crochet hooks, pt. 1 / Uncinetti tunisini, parte 1

When it comes to Tunisian crochet, one of the first issues people face is: which hooks should I choose? I decided to write about my own experience in 2 or 3 posts, and hopefully help some of you. When I first wanted to try Tunisian crochet, I only had a couple of long hooks at home, and they were definitely too thin for a newbie, like 2,5 mm or such. So I headed to a local store and bought me a nice 5 mm one. It was the classic  long, straight aluminium hook with a plastic stopper at one end and a pretty rounded tip at the other end , branded Pony. I practiced a bit with it, and  I struggled because of the rounded tip . I didn't give up, though: I purchased some bigger sizes by the same brand, which were  double-ended and all plastic .  I couldn't use those to save my life . The yarn didn't glide on them, and using them hurt my wrist terribly. Silly newbie I was, I blamed it all on the technique itself and took a pause from it, even though I did enjoy it...

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...
