"November Shades"

Well, hello readers!
Thanks for all your nice comments about my article that's been published: I still haven't had time to translate it in good English, but I'm working on it and on the other ones, so I hope to post them here soon.
Today I'd like to show you a new project instead, a cowl called "November Shades", whose pattern is available both on Etsy and Ravelry. It's made once more with Tunisian crochet but this item is worked in the round! TC in the round is lots of fun: you have to work with two strands of yarn and a double-ended hook, so if you're an absolute beginner it can get tricky, but after a bit of practice it gets really enjoyable. Plus, if you take advantage of the double-ended hook to use two contrasting colors it creates a marvelous effect with pretty little effort.
I'd really like to hear your opinions about this item: I'll be honest, I'm quite proud of it and how it turned out, so I hope y'all like it as much as I do.
For those interested: pattern is available in English, Dutch and Italian, and I have a promotion going on on Ravelry only with which you can get both this and "Pumpkin Skin" at a reduced price. Coupon code is AutumnROX.

Ciao a tutti!
Grazie per i commenti sulla pubblicazione del mio articolo, mi ha fatto davvero piacere il vostro incoraggiamento!
Oggi vi mostro un nuovo progetto, uno scaldacollo che ho chiamato "November Shades", sempre lavorato ad uncinetto tunisino, ma stavolta in tondo. L'UT in tondo è davvero divertente: si lavora con due capi di filato e un uncinetto a doppia punta, quindi se siete principianti assoluti può risultare intricato, ma con un po' di pratica diventa molto piacevole. In più si può sfruttare a proprio vantaggio l'uncinetto a due punte e lavorare con due colori a contrasto: in questo modo si ottiene un risultato stupendo con poca fatica.
Sono curiosa di leggere le vostre opinioni su questo capo: ad essere sincera io ne sono piuttosto fiera e mi piace molto com'è venuto, spero piaccia anche a voi.
Per chi fosse interessato: lo schema è disponibile in italiano, inglese e olandese, e al momento c'è una promozione su Ravelry che permette a chi acquista anche "Pumpkin Skin" di ricevere i due modelli ad un prezzo scontato. Il codice da inserire è AutumnROX.

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. ...

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.

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...
