For those of us in the south, sometimes even fingerless gloves can be too much for the predictable sweltering temperatures, but who wants to have to sacrifice style? These are an open palm style of fingerless gloves that are perfect for those simple summer outfits. Starting with a basic pineapple motif, I’ve added a finger loop to the top and flaps on the sides for a good fit. Add cute buttons for a delicate look (as well as practical) and there you have it: a delicate and lacy accessory for summer!

I interrupt my regularly scheduled ramble to bring you this breaking news story that I literally just heard on the local nightly news! I was tickled to learn that a local hospital has a very dedicated volunteer. Mazie Ford, the aforementioned “coolest person ever,” has been volunteering at her local hospital in Hollywood, FL for some seven years. She crochets (and knits) hats for newborn babies!

Although the newscasters referred to her work as “knitting,” we can plainly see that most of it is crochet!

This jewelry set is lacy, delicate, and good for special occasions. Wear the necklace, bracelet, and earrings together or individually. Twisted, beaded chains make this a pattern set for the more adventurous crocheter in you. The pieces are quick to make and fun to wear. They’re sure to capture attention from family and friends! Crochet this set in your favorite thread color and add complimenting beads.

After many different tries I am finally proud to present my very first phone cover! The 1st try worked but I found that I had neglected to take into account the camera, USB outlet, and earphone jack. The 2nd try was better but it covered the touch-sensitive buttons at the bottom. This latest one has it all. Try it out and tell me what you think!

The inspiration for this week’s tutorial happened at my weekly crafts group meeting. A new friend of mine, Barbara, is an experienced knitter but recently learned to crochet. She told me that she is working on a continual granny square blanket, which would end up being one big square. She said she would like to make it into a rectangle without adding more squares to the end. I told her that it could be done and then figured out this pattern.

For the purpose of practicing this skill, we’ll make a small rectangular swatch. Yarn and hook size don’t matter for this practice swatch.

This is what your swatch will look like if you use only one color.
