Fingerless Gloves


My newest item is the fingerless glove. I have been wanting these for a long time. My hands get really cold in the winter, typing on the computer, but I needed my fingers. This was the perfect solution. I looked at them and thought to myself, geeeeze I know how to crochet! I haven't crocheted in years and really felt a need to dust off the old crochet hook and go through my large variety of yarns I seem to collect. I was in shock when I opened the old wooden trunk to discover rolls and wads of fancy yarns! I had such a great time twisting and twirling that crochet hook around the warm softness of the yarns. I never use a pattern, I just let the stitches follow the shape I want and it always comes out perfect. It seems my grandmother was so good at crocheting without a pattern, that when she would see a doily in a store window, she would study it for a few minutes, go home and crochet the same one. I seemed to inherit this talent from her.

My newly crocheted fingerless gloves can be found on Etsy.
