I've been published! / Mi hanno pubblicata!

Now that's some title, isn't it? Well, to tell the truth I *have* had an article, a review about TC book "Tunisian Crochet Stitch Guide" by Kim Guzman, published on one of the most famous Italian websites about knitting and crochet, Maglia-Uncinetto.it. I'm so sorry my readers from other countries won't be able to read it due to language issues, but don't worry: I'm translating this (and the other articles that will follow!) in English to publish on my blogs, so if you're interested you'll have your chance to read them anyway! =D

Dopo tanto, torno a scrivere un post in italiano: segnalo ai miei lettori che una mia recensione su un famoso libro ad argomento uncinetto tunisino, "Tunisian Crochet Stitch Guide" di Kim Guzman, è stata pubblicata sul famosissimo sito Maglia-Uncinetto.it. Non so descrivervi l'emozione, anche l'onore, di vedere un mio articolo comparire su questo sito: un sito che ho seguito fin da quando mi sono avvicinata al mondo dell'uncinetto, guardando le autrici e gli autori degli articoli con un'ammirazione sconfinata per le loro capacità e le loro conoscenze, pensando che mai avrei visto il mio nome come autrice... e invece, grazie alla redazione, in particolare a Veruska (altresì nota come Happysloth) che ha seguito molto da vicino il mio progetto, ben quattro mie recensioni su altrettanti manuali di UT compariranno su M-U.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

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.

And here's the Dragon! / Ecco il Drago!

Remember the Dragon Tail scarf/shawl I began some time ago? Well, last week I managed to finish it, and I'm oh so proud of it. Not only it's my first Tunisian crochet project, but it also turned out great, big and cosy and oh so soft (this thanks to the lovely yarn Géraldine sent me, Phil Bambou Laine by Phildar). It is 2 m long from tip to tip and 45 cm wide by the last scale, and the last row counts 110 stitches, which are quite a lot... : ) As I already wrote I strongly recommend this if you want to try Tunisian crochet, it's easy, good fun and you get a nice original item to wear. You might find this tutorial by Julia Marquardt helpful, but if you want to get one that's exactly like mine you have to change the pattern a little bit: I followed the instructions by a great designer, MariaGrazia Berno , who modified it a bit in order to obtain a scarf/shawl that curls up more. Her pattern says to increase of two stitches at the end of every row, just before the se
