Weaving Olden Patterns

A very, very quick post to wish all my readers Happy Holidays! My Holiday gift for you this year is a new free TC pattern, named " Cheiron ". As you can see it's for a neckwarmer that suits both men and women, worked in the round in two different colors. If you wish to try your hand at TC in the round, this might be the item for you. Besides this small present, I wish you all a marvelous time these next days, and a bright 2017! Un post velocissimo per augurare Buone Feste a tutti i miei lettori!

I've been writing about Tunisian crochet almost all year long, so of course now I have to make another post on the subject, and more specifically on TC-related presents. If you think it's time to purchase some long hooks and books to study and make practice, allow me to help you through the many choices out there. As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm enjoying a collaboration with Italian blog " Maglia-Uncinetto.it " with my reviews and opinions about TC books and such (and in the future I'll write about other crafty subjects, too), but I still haven't been able to translate my reviews in English. Though, since there are many English reviews about these books, so far I'll tell you briefly about the ones I really like, and I suggest you go and search for other reviews on the web. Now, about the presents. Let't th...
