Book Review by Reneé Rodgers (www.crochetrenee.com)
Andee Graves has been designing for some time now, but this
is her debut book title, Texting Mitts. All of the projects are fingerless
gloves that are created from sock weight yarn that will appeal to young and
young-at-heart alike. There are a total of eight projects, in a variety of
skill levels and a variety of techniques, from lace to very textured stitch
patterns. Like many of the current Leisure Arts titles, there is an online link
to step-by-step tutorials, for both left- and right-handed crocheters for each
project.
Ms. Graves has created a winner, with a nice variety of
mitts that will keep your hands toasty warm and still allow you to use your
wireless device. Any of these patterns would also make lovely bridal or prom
accessories, as well as stage or re-enactment props, making them truly
timeless. In fact, I have a stash of sock yarn that I may have to use to make a
few pairs of these for gifts.
I look forward to seeing what Graves creates
next!
