"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.

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
