Granny squares

Qualche tempo fa mi sono "regalata" una fascia per capelli composta da una serie di granny squares di cotone nero, molto semplice, il classico complemento da indossare con tutto, per comodità. Devo dire però che le care vecchie mattonelle della nonna fanno sempre la loro figura, perché nel giro di pochi giorni mi è stato chiesto di realizzarne una, questa di un colore più vivace, che la sua futura proprietaria ha scelto tra i gomitoli a a mia disposizione (quanto è comodo a volte avere un'esagerazione di filati!). 
Detto fatto, un paio di giorni dopo la sua fascia estiva e colorata è pronta per essere indossata!

Some time ago I made a headband (or hairband, I don't know which is more correct) made of a series of granny squares as a small gift for myself, and for it I chose a black cotton yarn, really plain, an item that goes with anything, just for comfort. I must say though that the good ol' granny squares always make a good impression, because a few days later I was asked to crochet another one; its future owner chose the colour among the yarns I had (sometimes having too many of them is a blessing!).
No sooner said than done, a couple of days later here's her summery and colourful headband, ready to be worn!

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

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
