Today is July 2nd. July 2nd?? July?? OMG!! What happened to January, February, March, April, May, and June? Granted there were a few mishaps along the way: illness, cataract surgery, injured wrist, but July? Really?
One Skein Cuffed Fingerless Mitts. Back in January I had this great idea to start posting Christmas projects in July. Well, if you need a quick crochet project, try these simple fingerless mitts.
These mitts are very easy to crochet and would be a great project for beginners or a quick, last-minute gift — taking less than a skein of yarn, a couple of hours and crocheting single and double crochet stitches.
