Soddisfazioni da raverly...

Ho scoperto di recente che il mio coprifasce verde acqua ha avuto un discreto successo su raverly. Alcune delle amiche inglesi mi avevano anche chiesto la traduzione ma io avevo desistito, sia per la mancanza di tempo sia perché in alcuni commenti avevo letto che le mie traduzioni non risultano molto chiare. Credo la cosa sia dovuta al fatto che il mio inglese non è certo dei migliori e alla marcata diversità tra i due linguaggi tecnici: il nostro più discorsivo, il loro più schematico. Avevo anche scritto nelle note agli ultimi modelli inseriti che avrei desistito dal tradurre le istruzioni in inglese per i motivi detti. E invece due amiche mi hanno sorpreso inaspettatamente e positivamente:

AliSquish si è offerta di tradurre per me il modello che aveva già realizzato (pensate ha messo come immagine del profilo proprio il coprifasce :-) ).

Poi un'altra ragazza di Raverly ha scritto questo commento:

Katy, I am SO sorry that you have decided not to translate your patterns, they are so lovely, and this smocked dress is beautiful.
I have just read a couple of your patterns and had NO trouble following your instructions. I think that you did/do a great job with your translations. Please don't let a few rude people discourage you. Some people are never happy and should go elsewhere for patterns.
Hugs, Heather in Canada

Un vero balsamo per il mio cuore di maglierista!!!!

A presto! (mi sa che riproverò con le traduzioni...appena avrò un po' più di tempo!!)
