Fingerless Mitts

Finished pair!!!!

Used Circulo Yarn "Anne 65" in Light Gray (8414) It's thicker than the lace used in the pattern but I think it looks good and will hopefully be warmer...

Phoenix Mitts by Julia Vaconsin

Although here in Puerto Rico we have nice non-glove-requiring weather, I will soon begin a residency in a very, very cold hospital. I had already spent a month-long rotation there and found that sometimes I'd lose all feeling in my fingers while writing my notes, so I have embarked in a new crochet project ( like I needed the excuse ;-) )

I found the Phoenix Mitts Pattern in Ravelry and just finished one glove!

Scrubbies!

May 8, 2011: Made this one from Sugar n' Cream Naturals Sonoma Print, 100% cotton

100% Leftover Acrylic Yarn

Hi, I've been away a while, but that doesn't mean I've stopped making things. These are my new obsessions: crochet scrubbies. Made one with 100% cotton worsted yarn for bathing and another one with a 100% acrylic for cleaning. I must say, both came out very good and come quite handy!

I found the pattern in Crochet Patterns Only and also watched the video tutorial for clarification: Spiral Scrubbie Video

addendum: The acrylic scrubbie is p.e.r.f.e.c.t for cleaning. I just cleaned a wine bottle that I'd been saving to use in a project but had failed to remove the glue residue from the labeling...
