Sono felice di essere membro di Italia di Squadra! Ero un italiano maggiore nell'università (tanto tempo fa), e è stato detto nella classe italiana che il mio ceco relativo probabilmente camminato sopra da Italia poiché ho avuto un cognome italiano (Merenda).

Per la squadra che lavorerò a maglia i calzini di Jaywalker.

(Thanks freetranslation.com!)

La fiaccola!

Abbiamo anche noi la nostra fiaccola. È passata sotto la finestra del mio bagno stamattina alle nove.
Fiaccola Olimpica

Eccomi!

Here I am. I am writing in English for the sake of the International readers. Italian, living in Italy (Milano), knitting in English (I find it hard to read a pattern in Italian!!!). Going to knit a vest. Sto facendo la punta ai ferri!

Membership Rules

Allora, chi puo' far parte del nostra squadra? Innanzittutto, se stai legendo e caspisci quello che scrivo, sei dei nostri! Mandami un messaggio at lux2night AT infinito.it e ti mandero' un invito.

If you have no idea of the meaning of what I just wrote above, you can be a member of our team if you can answer yes to at least one of the following questions:

1. Are you Italian? Yes? Then why are you still reading, you should have stopped at "mandami un messaggio ..." and gone to your email program.

2. Is one of your parents Italian?

3. Is one of your grandparents Italian?

4. Do you have an Italian last name even if you have no idea why?

5. Did you marry an Italian? It's ok if you divorced them too.

6. Have you have been on vacation to Italy?

7. Do you want to go on vacation to Italy?

8. Do you knit with Italian yarn?

9. Do you know that America was named after Amerigo Vespucci?
Do not dare to answer no to this question! And now that I think about, that makes America our responsibility so, if you live anywhere in North, Central, or South America, you are in!

10. Well, even if you live in Asia, Marco Polo, you know.

So, if the answer of at least one of the above questions is yes, and you want in, email me at lux2night AT infinito.it
