Read What Others Are Saying

very impressive and well-made scheme. The ancient villa like a small castle, and whitened with snow seems even more so a landscape belonging to a Christmas fairy tale, to be invented on the spot, inspired by the observation of the scene. The two places very snowy pines well made at the sides of the house, they have a very realistic look. This pattern consists of 6 sheets, with grid of medium size, and symbols, all very easy to read, even if the accompanying explanations are in English. If you want to change brands of yarn, in one of the Annexes sheets present a list where all of the DMC colors used to realize this scheme, are also converted in the brand Coats and Anchor. This embroidery, when viewed from afar, can be misleading because it looks like a photograph. Cinzia...

Booklet with some alphabets, mostly modern, suitable for embroidery for children, very simple, the central insert a bigger alphabet with simple teddy bears clinging on several "poses" to the letters of the alphabet block capitals; in the back of the insert c 'a more classic alphabet where each letter has incorporated a little rose very simple. Then cursive letters, days of the week, other capital letters and lower case alphabets, and many designs of small parties for children, useful for decorating baby bibs, as well as a number of penguins, fast embroidery, presented both shot in version to the right and towards left. Alphabets are about twenty. Some photos of works done complete this booklet. Cinzia...

This useful book, well done as all the books of Editions "The Castle," explains virtually ... EVERYTHING you need to know for knitting. I purchased it years ago because c 'always something to learn, and with the many photographs in this book and detailed explanations I solved many doubts. I recommend it to all, because it is a book that teaches ... as a school, but also gives good tips and tricks ... like a grandmother! Cinzia...

Cute diagram depicting a group of snowmen, dressed in scarves and funny hats, under a gray sky that still promises snow, and in fact the canvas to use for this job Aida 64 Pewter Feather Blue by Permin of Copenhagen, and its color is very similar to the DMC 318. the Stoney Creek Collection realizes many schemes with snowmen, and this I liked the colors, not too bright, not "Christmas" and more "winter." The pattern in black and white, simple, with explanations in English. I do not think realizzer a little picture, I'm thinking about a roller pillow (rectangular size), to be achieved by mounting the cloth embroidered on a fabric printed cotton that depicts snowflakes with silver-gray background (I saw here at Casa Cenina), then foderer a foam roller and shut the fabric on the sides arricciandola and stopping in the center of the roller, on both sides, with a big pom-poms made of white wool. Trover his place on a couch, at Christmas time, or as a "draft excluder" placed on a window sill. Cinzia...

"A heart for you" makes the pair with "A heart for me", why are two embroideries which bind to one another, two red hearts, but also two trees, full of branches and leaves that fill all the space ... of a heart! These embroidery, like its "twin" like, it has many interpretations: the heart, the symbol of the feeling. The tree, a symbol of life. Two important symbols, which combined, can be interpreted so love (the heart) that has to grow (like a tree). Or that true love must have "deep roots." The leaves are small in most "heart for me", while in this the leaves are larger. I imagine that the first represents the woman and the second man. I bought them both, because I think these two schemes can not be divided, "travel together" one another's completion. Parolin creates embroidery that we must be able to interpret, and there will only succeed if it abandons rationality and to the feeling of space. Cinzia...

This "heart for me" Parolin has a double reading: it can be seen either as the heart, for the characteristic shape, and as a tree, in fact, clearly visible on the trunk, the branches and the leaves that come down to the roots (which forming the tip of the heart and also at the same time the base of the tree). And 'in tandem with the other "heart for you", very similar. Nice idea, because with just one embroidery, in the end, they are made of two images! Parolin as always, brilliant, and I greatly admire all his creations, original, poetic, full of feeling. Cinzia...
