I was so cold at work yesterday that I wore the fingerless mitts. I think I need to make more just for that reason. I can knit with them on at the ice rink too.

Very nice! I cut the finger tips out of a pair of gloves because my hands get cold when I type.

Good job Jessica. Can you take you a heater to work? It's terrible to have to work in the cold.

In one office I have full control of the thermostat so I am not cold there. It is at the other office. I don't have a heater there but I might bring one. I bring a sweater to put over my legs and sometimes I wear gloves. I do not like to be cold and I am someone who is cold a lot.

I can certainly relate. And I have no control in my office either. And we aren't allowed portable heaters. I have a blanket I took to work for my legs and wear a jacket. Not very professional looking, but if they want me better dressed, they need to keep it more comfortable in there.

It's terrible having to wear gloves at work - been there done that. I have a little heater in both my offices. It's not the same as being warm but it's better than nothing.

Great job. I tried knitting once or twice, but I just couldn't hold the needles. Guess I'm all thumbs.

I did a sweater once. I'm been thinking about trying some socks. The ones from the store wear through so quickly. Anyone have a pattern or know where a free pattern is?

I have some patterns, Tammy. I could scan them and e-mail them to you if you want to give me your e-mail address. Otherwise a good place to find patterns is www.ravelry.com. There are tons of free knitting and crochet patterns. |

Yes, I use 4 needles. It is tricky at first but you get used to it. I use 4 for mittens also. |

I've made a crochet pattern for hunter socks so I'm good there. I've decided to knit a sweater. I did one years ago and it worked out well so I'm not anticipating any problems. I won't be doing any fancy stitches just ribknit and stockinette.

It's progressing slowly. I'd forgotten how much slower I am at knitting than I am at crochet. Of course as warm as it is this winter I may have plenty of time to complete it.
