Fingerless Gloves


I have been working this weekend on a pair of fingerless gloves. The 2nd one is about half finished. This is the first pair I've made, and am not sure how I'll like them. The yarn is a wool (Garn) that I've had around here for ages, and the pattern is by Plymouth (actually I bought the pattern for the socks, also included). This cold weather has affected most of the USA, and I don't hear anyone saying anything good about it. Well, maybe the power companies, and the greedy petroleum people. Also, an anniversary....one year ago this month I stopped biting my fingernails. Being a life-long nail biter (nerves, I guess), one day I just decided not to, and haven't. I'm still amazed, and look at my hands and say "wow! fingernails". Not a big thing to most, but it is for me. Hoping and praying that this cold goes away soon. I'm tired of still seeing the snow piled up around here!!!

I too don't know how I feel about these. I like yours but don't know if I would wear them personally.

Great job on the fingernails!! And I agree with you, somehow the cold DOES feel colder in FL!!! I think it's because we aren't expecting it and dont have the jackets and scarves you need to stay warm. I had 3 blankets on my bed, including one flannel. Whenever I use that quilt it always reminds me that I need ot make more flannel quilts!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

I stopped biting mine for awhile, the nails grew long and I couldn't quilt, type or play the guitar. I can do all those things again and my nails look terrible again...
