More Crocheted Fingerless Gloves? Yep!

I am so excited about my new crocheted fingerless gloves, that I just *had* to show off another pair I just finished today.
So far this is the third pair, and I think I'm in love with these! I made them with bamboo cotton thread size 10, and made ties to go around the wrist with a rose attached.
These make me feel all romantic! The yellow and red go together so well!

They are soooo soft and comfortable, and they aren't too warm at all, so they are perfect for a formal occasion, or a romantic evening with your significant other!

I hope to make lots of these kind of gloves, I really enjoy these.

Can't wait to see how they do at my next craft show. It's always exciting to wonder!

Sunday Tidbit - Crocheted Lace Gloves.

I am excited about making lace gloves! This is the first pair. I will be making several and taking them to a craft show in April, and possibly be putting them on consignment after that. I'll also be happy to take requests for them, though for now I

Look At What I Have Been Doing!

Gloves! Crocheted ones! I crocheted lots of these for a consignment shop (which is doing very well). They're really fun to make, and I

You've probably heard the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words".
I feel that way about this picture. Isn't it lovely? It actually makes me want these golden gloves!

Named for the king of Phrygia who was said to have the power to turn everything he touched into gold, these lovely crocheted gloves are sure to please any girl or woman.



What are fingerless gloves good for?

Photographers (especially for those winter outdoor shoots), pianists (if your mom is anything like mine then it's always cold in the house!), driving, typing on your computer, or just a lovely stroll in the town, with everyone's head turning to catch a glimpse of the princess wearing golden gloves!

There's something about the shop Innovation Design that just really draws me in. I'm not sure what it is, maybe it's the wonderful warm colors, or the fluffy cozy cowls. Whatever it is, it's certainly worth sharing!

Fingerless gloves for you to make!

Boy this is one late post! Fact is, I've had this pattern since before I even started this blog! But I just never found time to try it out, and not until the chill of this fall was I motivated to put down my thread crochet and make something for myself for once....fingerless gloves!

Now why didn't I do it sooner? Here I have been complaining about how cold my hands get when I crochet or play the piano, and these are perfect! They allow my fingers to move around freely, while still providing cozy comfort.
The pattern I used can be found at monpetitviolon's shop.

Here is the finished product. I even happened to have a french manicure for the pictures lol!











I have really small hands, and the pattern was a size medium, so I just used a really thin yarn and did a smaller gauge.
I wore them the other night to my sister's bridal shower, and I got lots of compliments on them. My friend, who is making my bridesmaid dress for me, even asked me to make her a pair!
