Eccolo qui! / Here's to you!

Nel mio ultimo post vi avevo fatto vedere un lavoro iniziato da poco e ancora da terminare, oggi vi rivelo in che cosa si è trasformato, perciò... eccolo qui!

In my last post I showed you a work in progress that was yet to be finished, and today I show you what's come out of it, so... here's to you!


Ho trasformato quei bei gomitoli di cotone cablé colorato in un foulard per la bella stagione! 
Sono veramente soddisfatta del risultato, anche se l'effetto è in larga parte merito delle sfumature di questo filato... cosa ne dite, vi piace?

I've turned those nice colourful cotton balls into a foulard to wear in the warm season!
I'm really satisfied with this item, although the credit for this lovely effect largely belongs to this yarn's shades... what do you think, you like it?

Congratulazioni alle "vincitrici" del mio indovinello, Anna e Nata!
Grazie a tutte voi che commentate i miei post - e benvenute alle nuove amiche! : )

Congratulations to the "winners" of my riddle, Anna and Nata! 
Thanks to all of you who leave a comment on my posts - and welcome to my new friends! : )

Se vi piacerebbe indossarlo, trovate questo foulard primaverile nel mio shop, o se preferite potete contattarmi via e-mail.

If you'd like to wear it, you can find this foulard for sale in my shop, or you can send me an e-mail.

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

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

The discovery of "Railway Knitting"

Hi folks! Here's a small adventure that happened to me that I'm gonna tell you about, mainly because it brought me to a really interesting discovery. Some days ago I received a message on Ravelry from a lady who's made her own Tunisian crochet version of the "Pfeilraupe" scarf. She sent me a picture to show me her work, which was simply stunning: she managed to recreate the exact shape of the knitted one, with marvelous use of short rows, plus in honeycomb stitch, which I love (you can check out her project page here ). We exchanged a few messages, and by checking her profile I discovered that I was talking to Dela Wilkins! When the sudden feeling of being a complete idiot for not recognizing her before was gone, I felt (and still feel!) SO privileged: a famous teacher, a published author, took time to write ME about an item we both tried to make in TC. Wow!! Well, of course I did some more searching and found that Dela's book on TC, "Railway Kn
