So today is the first day of the knit and crochet along of fingerless mitts! I’ll be casting on the Vendetta Gloves, using a bright green Plymouth Encore worsted for Dad. Between this and the green sweater, I think green is his favorite color.
At The Blue Purl today I picked up 3 mags, one of them is Crochet Traditions from Interweave.
