Crochet for the Cold

| 13 Comments

I am so ready now for this latest cold snap. I made some fingerless gloves aka wrist warmers, so no more cold steering wheel on Monday when I head off for my early morning class! I got the pattern from here at Crochet Pattern Central. I altered the instructions just a tad, adding an extra row of double crochet at the end and doing some single crochet around the edges to finish them off a little, but the instructions are so easy! I highly recommend trying it. I plan to make a few more pair to give to family and friends.

I also have a new scarf I made by simply making a long rectangle of alternating single crochet and double crochet. I’m not into fringe, so didn’t add any. I used Lion Brand Homespun yard so it’s got some great texture going on. It was a little challenging to work with because it can snag, but I used a fairly large hook which helped some. If I make any more using Homespun yarn, I’m going to use an every larger needle, like at least a K size.

Bring on the cold now, baby! I’m so ready!

Welcome to the Crafty Princess Diaries, my weblog and site where I get to blab about my passion for crafts, primarily jewelry making, and my crafting career. My name is Tammy Powley, and I decided to call my blog the Crafty Princess Diaries because of this very dorky picture I have of myself and because my husband often refers to me as “the princess and the pea,” which is just another way to say that I tend to be particular sometimes. Along with this weblog, I have a number of jewelry making books published.
