Crocheted Fingerless Gloves


 I am in the process of crocheting fingerless gloves for my daughters store.  This was my first pair.
The instructions are not right and/or needed to be altered so now I can get on with some prettier ones.   These are a bit too heavy, and this particular type of variegated yarn doesn't work as you can see.  u

I have chosen a lighter weight yarn in the JEANS line for the pair I am working on now and I love the way they are turning out.  Much softer, and still as warm.   I had to change to a much smaller hood, making the cuff portion a bit longer,  and am sewing together differently than the purchased instructions.

With my next pair I will write my own instructions so I have them to follow .......

Diana's Favorites by DYNASTY (Brush Kit)

Image
This is a specialty brush kit that FM and DYNASTY brushes put together for me about 8 years ago.  For me,  they are "staple" brushes.  I put the kit together using Dynasty Wave, Dynasty Dry Brush along with large and small IPC Flat Blends.  To use these brushes I found a few things enhanced their usage ... a Break In of sorts.  Additional sizes are available in the Dynasty  Collection series and in the IPC line there are other shapes of brushes.   A great online site to purchase your brushes is:  www.thebrushguys.com  I have worked with them for years and never had a problem. Next time I think I will introduce you to the Foliage Wave brush and give you some tips on how to break this brush in, prep it before use, clean, and where to hold the brush, etc.  I feel all are requirement to achieve good results.   If there are any questions please email me at dianaputnam555@gmail.com and I will do my best to answer.
