Spring Time Crocheting

I haven't blogged much in the last month, mainly because there has been so much to do in my allotment, getting it ready for the coming year. I've been laying paths and building victorian edging down the side of them, as well as plenty of weeding and digging the raised beds. When I get around to it I will take a few photos.

I have been crocheting quite a lot as well. I have been searching for a pattern for fingerless gloves, there are plenty out there but I wanted something that was going to fit snug against my hand. The patterns I have found seem to be quite loose and look just a bit like a long tube.

The pattern I found is called Seamless Fingerless Gloves from a site called Cult of Crochet. There is a link on the site to the persons Ravelry page and the pattern was £1.00. I know there are a lot of free patterns out there but this pattern is well written and easy to follow with photographs showing you what it should look like as you are going along, so I think for just £1.00 it really is worth it.

I used an Addi Swing Ergonomic Crochet Hook 3.5mm, the wool I choose is called Drop Merino Extra Fine in the colour mustard, I also bought a slate grey colour as one of my next crochet projects will be some boot cuffs in mustard and grey.
