Swap for Xmas #2!

Here it's my second swap since ever. This time I took part to an international swap and I recieved a wonderful gift-box from Harma from The Netherlands. She choose for me a skein of Regia and a skein of Evilla, both in autumn colours. I love them! And there's enough yarn to knit two shawls... Now I don't have any excuse left. I should start the Akimbo shawl!

Then, I received Some traditional Dutch chocolate cakes&biscuits and a box of falvoured tea-bags: cinnamon, my lovest! Thank you Harma!!!

It's snowing just now!!!!

This morning it starts snowing... I love the snow!!! I don't care about traffic, clothes, slips and all the rest... I definitely love the snow!!!
I'm a bit happier now...

Swap for Xmas #1

Here is my Christmas swap with Ravelry's Swap Italia group. My elf was Donna, who is also organizing the swap, and she sent me a lot of nice things! As first, yarn: a wonderful woll/alpaca tweed yarn in a lovely frosty green. This is perfect for my next KAL, the WarmAroundYou cowl. Then, I had a Panforte from Siena to eat with a cup of  cappuccino. There were also some buttons, very very nice!, a leather keychain in red and a sooo nice Pinocchio which is already among my baby's toys. Finally, two wonderful mice-in-a-nut for my Xmas Tree: they were made directly by Donna and are really amazing!!!

THANK YOU!!!!

Shalom! Finally...

Here is my Shalom cardigan! I realized it was a bit large, so I knitted it in a longer version with only one wood-button. It's very nice with jeans and shirts or with little A-dresses as I usually wear. The colour is shaded in purple/brown/violet, I love it!
Honestly, I'm happy about the result! And it was so nice working with the KAL-girls... Hope to do it again very soon!!!

Happy Hallowe'en!!!

What about my pumpkin, girls?
Today is a foggy rainy day, just th right atmosphere for Hallowe'en... I'm going to cook a traditional risotto with pumpkin and sausage and maybe, if I'm not too late, I'll cook also a pumpkin&choko cake!

Shalom Cardigan KAL #1

Yesterday night I've started my first KAL with Ravelry's girls. I'm so excited! We're knitting the Shalom Cardigan, a very nice top-down pattern. Hope to post pics very soon!!!

A new Hoodie for Pi

Hoodies are my passion, definitely. I can't stop knitting a new one for my baby. This time I've just finished a grey warm hoodie that is perfect for the season. I've used the Bunny by Sesia (25% Alpaca, 25% Acrylic, 50% Merino), 2 skeins in iron grey and one in light grey. The yarn is nice, you can knit it easily and quickly. Pi will love it!

The pattern is very easy and you can knit it in one piece. I will try to upload the pattern, hope to be able to translate it ;-)
