MADE it... {11}





I've been crocheting again.  Bless.

I do love a 'bout' of crochet every day.  I notice when I haven't crocheted for a couple days... you know what I mean?  It's like I'm hooked or something (pun intended).


Fingerless mittens, or would you call them gloves?



Crochet-Talk:  They're made of mostly half-doubles, some doubles in the thumbs with decreasing stitches, singles around the edges and slip-stitches along the side seam.



I saw a great tutorial (via Pinterest) on a different way to do half-double crochet so you get that 'knitted-look' line.  I couldn't find it again (I didn't re-pin it because it got etched inside my crocheting-heart, never to be forgotten), but... *searches pinterest* here is a picture-tutorial for half-double crocheting in the back loop that's just as good.



Next week my life is going to be full on, helping an extremely creative lady organise a FUN craft love festival.

These mittens are available to purchase here.
