Well, for me anyways...
I've been making blankets for about two years now and decided it was time to expand my horizon into something a little different. My friend Lydia has two little girls... One being super girly and the other... well, she's a rocker/toyboy.
Well, my little rockstar decided the coolest thing in the world is fingerless gloves. And you know EVERY rockstar HAS to have them. Which led me to rely on my FAVORITE crochet man in the world, Mikey. If you haven't been to his page GO, it's amazing. Not only does he have the patterns up on his website, he has video's on youtube from point of view, YOU are looking down at his hands so you can mimic his movements.
There are several video bloggers that are doing this now, but I love Mikey's video's cause he makes them personal, he talks about his everyday life between showing you what you are doing. Again his website is http://thecrochetcrowd.com/
So I started the gloves tonight and finished one and I'm about half way through with the second. However... not sure how or why but the gloves are fitting me and not the 10 year old I'm making them for. We will see what happens when I wash them, but for my first attempt I'm pretty stoked!
