Relax socks
In calzemercoledì 27 febbraio 2008
Let's go back to knitting... My Relax socks, worked with the pattern of Madder Rib Socks from "Knitting Vintage Socks" are on the go. One is done, the other is knitted over the heel turn. The toe is very particular: it's a star toe, and it has a shape that is maybe a bit too tight for my foot: it stretches a lot. But I like most the rib pattern: k6, p1, k2, p1 all along the leg of 60 sts, centering the k6 rib at the middle of the side of the leg.

I'm in the mood for musical posts. You can listen for it in the playlist, even if our way is more as a traditional gospel. The choir is Gospelchor Andelfingen.
We shall overcome

Not only knitting... you can find in the playlist a beautiful track of "We shall overcome", by Gospel Dream. The Holy Light Gospel Choir (of which I'm part of) is still preparing it too... and it's not so different....

C'ho l'influenza (I'm flu)
In calzelunedì 11 febbraio 2008
I've been hit. Saturday night my father gave a big party for his 60th birthday and I was home with flu... To relax I started a new pair of socks. I searched in Vintage socks, and at last I've chosen simple ones: Madder rib socks. They have a nice rib pattern in the leg that doesn't stress... moreover this yarn is on the shades of light blue... what more relaxing? I think I'll make a French heel instead of Dutch heel, it suits me better. Yarn from Wolle Harthmuth.
Questo mi posso permettere...

ndr. "Prima Visione" è una catena di negozi di abbigliamento a buon prezzo. Probabilmente spera, dopo le elezioni, di essere detto "Hugony" (negozio di abbigliamento chic in centro)...
Il massimo è stato comunque un manifesto a sfondo mistico di qualche anno fa, in cui un candidato che di cognome faceva Madonna aveva come slogan "io ci credo!".
Pubblicate i manifesti più assurdi che vede nelle vostre città: sarà l'unica nota positiva di queste elezioni!
Che bella serata! (What a nice evening!)
In S'n'BThe S'n'B has been wonderful! There was a lot of people, and some of them knew me from the blog! I've met so nice people, very good knitters, I've seen my furst bamboo hook, and the owner was reading The Friday Night Knitting Club, there was a girl embroidering too and I've tought my students how to work socks with two circulars (unravelling my just begun new sock!). And I liked the so various assortment of ages: the happiest was Agatina, eighty years old student of my class, who liked the event so much! This pub hosts knitting club every wednesday, but unfortunately I can't join the group so frequentely because of my baby, but I hope I will repeat this experience some other time... we'll see!
Musica! (Music!)

Wim Wenders is film making in Palermo. In Uncle Antonio's house... (Antonio, aka Momò, painter, and his wife Enza Lauricella, a superb folk singer). Give a look.
Abbiamo la soluzione! (we have the solution!)
... to get out of American economic crisis. The Congress found it....
Zombie Monkey sock e Toasty topper
In maglialunedì 4 febbraio 2008
Some days ago I let my mother see the corpse of my felted Monkey sock. She told me: "Leave it to me, I'll try to do something...". I thought that felting was not a reversible process.... Well, she return it almost alive! The colors have a bit faded and it still looks slightly felted, but I can wear it!
I suspect my mother attended schools at Hogwarts....
Sferruzzatina veloce con il Toasty topper per il mio piccino: ho fatto qualche modifica per personalizzarlo ed è venuto proprio bene!
Fast knitting with Toasty topper for my baby: I have made some changes and it's perfect!
