Crochet Fingerless Mitts for Spring – Mesh Mitts

My stash yarns

For my mitts, I chose some Berroco Boboli Lace, which is now discontinued. I got this yarn from a de-stashing sale that Marly Bird did in 2017. I just love all the little bitts of color.

It’s a blend of wool, acrylic, and rayon, for a soft and shiny feel. It’s also a single, which means it’s one strand of yarn rather than multiple strands plied together. That means it’s a little fuzzier.

Berroco makes a similar yarn called Millefiori light, which is a close match in texture and gauge. It’s only wool and acrylic though, without the rayon, so it’s not as shiny.

Color Street Nails from Eye Love Knots

Our prize sponsor for this month’s giveaway is Alexandra Richards with Color Street Nails. Alexandra is also a crochet designer at Eye Love Knots, which is how I first met her. You may know her as one of the admins on the Scrappy Stitchers Facebook group as well.

As many of you know, I’m nuts about nail wraps. So when I found out Alexandra sells these, I had to try them, and I think they are FABULOUS! They go on easy, look great, and feel like real nail polish.

For me they last a couple of weeks, and they’re pretty easy to peel off when I’m done. They also come in lots of fun designs – check them out at Alexandra’s shop!
