My Projects: Miss Sailorette

Sometimes an unexpected trim can make a project change personality. Or at least lend itself to a new name. While in progress, these were simply called Red Lace Fingerless Gloves. Now I introduce to you Miss Sailorette!

While trim shopping last week, I fell in love with these anchor buttons and thought they would be perfect for these gloves. These gloves are lightweight enough for spring and really add some life and color after a grey and cold winter.

This is also a great pattern to learn or practice lace stitching. You could almost replace that stitch with any other to create your own version!

My Projects: Ombre and Cherry Red Fingerless Gloves

I've recently finished some more crocheted Fingerless Gloves with Bows for my Etsy shop; The Sparkling Cocktail! I've made quite a few of these and I really enjoy playing with different color combinations.

For these I created an ombre effect by using three different colors of yarn as opposed to ombre yarn; which never really gives a true ombre effect, in my opinion.  As you know I love these heather tweed yarns and with this effect they are really fun. What do you think? 

These ombre gloves are available here. 

Red is my favorite color and I haven't listed many solid colors of these, so here is a red pair! Made of Merino wool they are soft and fun for the upcoming winter and holiday season! 

These red gloves are available in my Etsy shop here. 

What do you prefer? Solid or ombre? What colors would you like?
