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.
