Here's the link:<br /><br />http://mrsmicawber.blogspot.com/2012/10/ribbonberry-crochet-tutorial-versatile.html<br /><br />A quick note - if you are new to crochet, you might also be interested in a more standard crochet pattern. Slip Stitch crochet takes longer than regular crochet because the stitches are so small.

(I know you know that.) I too can knit - but I love crochet, and respect it as its own form of fibre artistry. I could go on, but would probably end up writing a reply long enough to be a post of its own.... :)<br /><br />As always, thanks!Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-55953754059002207182012-11-05T10:12:03.571-06:002012-11-05T10:12:03.571-06:00I, too, am struck by how much this looks like knit...I, too, am struck by how much this looks like knitting.

(Of course there was no wind to speak of.) As for wearing them inside: we keep our thermostat very low in cool weather, so my hands are often cold, and the mitts come in very handy. :)Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-86392261937347648982012-11-04T00:52:32.654-05:002012-11-04T00:52:32.654-05:00Thank you for explaining!
