...desidero entrare lieve in questo nuovo anno e danzare leggera su questa terra...

the journey of Sweater Design School and my first knitting pattern writing
Sono anni che ho cominciato a lavorare a maglia e come autodidatta è stato un percorso piuttosto lento e divertente. L’ho sempre fatto solo per puro piacere e auto-sostentamento. Nel 2021, reduce come tutti, dai vari lock down e dall’incertezza che la pandemia ha portato nei nostri cuori e nelle nostre vite, ho deciso che avevo bisogno di una cosa ben strutturata e certa e così mi sono iscritta alla scuola di Sister Mountain Sweater Design School. Il bellissimo corso durato 12 settimane, consisteva nell’apprendere il metodo per la creazione di schemi di progetti originali, completi di sviluppo taglie e tutte le indicazioni per poter poi essere riprodotti, per uso personale, da terzi. Devo dire che mi sono ritrovata ad essere piuttosto lenta e solo oggi, alla fine del 2022, mi sono finalmente decisa a portare a termine il mio primo schema. Lo schema del mio Fuxia Oversized Hoody Sweater sarà presto disponibile!!!
I've been knitting for years and as a self-taught it has been a rather slow and fun journey. I've always done it just for pure pleasure and self-sustenance. In 2021, fresh like everyone else, from the various lock downs and the uncertainty that the pandemic has brought to our hearts and lives, I decided that I needed something well structured and safe and so I enrolled in the Sister Mountain Sweater Design School. The beautiful 12-week course consisted of learning the method for creating original project patterns, complete with size grading and all the information to be knitted by others for themselves. I must say that I found myself being rather slow and today, at the end of 2022, I finally decided to complete my first pattern. My Fuxia Oversized Hoody Sweater pattern will be available soon !!!
same path, different mood
...I see this tree every day driving to my studio. I see it in so many different ways, every time there is something different, the weather, the light, my mood, a thought...anything. Today, like everyday, I drove by and he called me somehow...I had to stop, turn back the car and go a little closer...the tree was talking to me. The fog completely erased the background. An entire castle magically disappeared. I took this picture and every time I look at it the tree still talks to me. Magical power!
free hand embroidery
I started a new project of hand embroidered garments. Let's see where it will take me!
I made this piece because I was always listening to an old song "lucky lips" by Ruth Brown and I was thinking about the cool girls from Greese (ok, please don’t do the math!)..:)
I thought...'I want to make something for me and my girl friends!!'
Made of 100% vicuna wool, it will be the perfect cool and sassy jacket for next spring! ‘Skwod’!!
