Some Crocheting Fun for Christmas!


This week I have been working on some Christmas presents for friends and family.  I dug out some old yarn and half finished projects to complete and give as gifts this Christmas!  

The first thing I finished was these beautiful boot cuffs made with a tutorial found here: http://patternsforcrochet.co.uk/boot-cuffs-usa.html.  I had to reduce the number of stitches on the bottom section to make them a little tighter for a tween but I love how they turned out!!

The second thing I completed this week was a pair of fingerless mittens.  Such a great pattern!  I thought I would have difficulty with the thumb hole but the planning and easy repeat of this pattern made it super easy!  I used this pattern from Getting Hooked on Crafts: http://gettinghookedoncrafts.blogspot.com/2010/11/free-crochet-pattern-fingerless-gloves.html?m=1 . 
  

I can't tell you what yarn I used as both of these are missing the wrapper!  The black mittens are made from a yarn I picked up at Hobby Lobby a while back. It's actually black with a bit of Aqua sparkle.

Loving my Jamberry nails also!  These that look like Santa's Belly are my favorite so far!  To bad I broke several nails before  putting them on!
