Crochet-A-Day 2012

First things first...

HaPpY NeW YeAr!


I hope you all had a very safe and fun holiday weekend! I spent the weekend with my family and we had a good time just chillin, watching football, eating goodies, playing with the dogs, playing with my sweet lil nephew Parker, and I had fun crocheting!

Anyway, its a new year! And with a new year comes new ideas, hopes, dreams, goals, resolutions, projects, crafts, etc. I decided that I'm going to do...

"Crochet-a-Day 2012"


So yesterday, being the first day of 2012, I decided to be productive while the fam was watching football and crochet something. I had already spent many hours over the weekend making cupcake coffee cozies to sell,


and after about a dozen or so of them I needed to think of something else to make. So I googled a free crochet pattern and got to work. Honestly, I didn't know how to read some of the pattern, it was different lingo than what I'm used to...so I improvised and made up some of it on my own as I went along. After awhile, I had a new pair of fingerless gloves!


Today, as the fam was hanging out watching The Lord of The Rings Trilogy (awesome movies!!) I decided to come up with my own pattern for fingerless gloves and make them extra cute...something that fits my personality and what I love...so I wrote my own pattern, and crocheted these super adorable and scrumptious cupcake gloves!


I'm pretty sure these are my new favorite accessory! And if people take an interest in them, I would love to make more and sell these as well. So be on the lookout at my Etsy shop for fun new listings!
