New Items!
I was looking to branch out from the jewelry items. There's so many things that I want to make! My brain is all over the place trying to decide what to add next to my little e-shop.
Growing up, my Mamaw taught me to crochet. Over the years, I've mutilated the old stand-by tunisian stitch that I originally learned and finally manged to make something that's not crooked. If you are an amatuer crocheter, I know you laughed! Been there, done that, am I right?
I present to you, my straight and beautiful fingerless gloves. These are all crocheted by yours truly, with yarn bought locally here in the grand state of West Virginia. Each pair has a few hours of needle work invested! If you are trying to figure out what stitch I used, I'll repeat that I mutated the tunisian stitch. I'll never reveal my secrets, muwhahah!
Sometimes called wrist or arm warmers, these little wonders are perfect for the tech age we are in. Your fingers are still free for texting or tapping out a phone number on your touch-screen gadget. If you aren't hip to the latest tech toys, I also adore using a pair I keep by my bed to wear while reading at night. Hands warm, and I can still turn the page (or hit the button on the e-book, depending on the night!) Wear them on the couch while you watch TV and surf your facebook. And last but not least, I initially put my mind to learning to make these gloves while at work! I can type and not have my hands freeze off!!
Having something new to make is exciting and so if you've been waiting to see what confession I have to make on this blog post, it's this. I got really into making these and experimenting with different materials of yarn so ... I have quite a stockpile of these. So here's a few that I've gotten pictures of and listed, but there's more to come!
I've given a few out to friends and family to sample and so far no bad reports so it's time to release my creations out into the world. I hope you enjoy for years to come!
Thanks!
