Coooool. You could also demand your boss to turn up the heat… otherwise, his staff will… die… and then he’ll have to do all the work. :P
And forcing me to enter this spam word every time I comment is so… old skool. :P (Coz my fingers are frozen and mitten-free… Hard to type. KIDDING!)
I know -I will update my whole blog soon -then you won’t have to type in type in the anti-spam words each time. Of course as soon as I finished these the heating was fixed!
Straight forward pattern for mittens, you are so cool thanks again!
thanks for the fingerless mitten pattern, I can’t wait to make them.
I made myelf a pair last weekend. Thanks so much for publishing the pattern - it’s exactly what I was looking for!
wow…thanks for the pattern! I am a new knitter and just learned how to knit hats. I wanted to try something new and quick so I modified your pattern and knit it on 10ml needles with chunky yarn and they came out great! I appreciate that you posted this pattern because it really helps to build confidence in knitting when you can accomplish projects like this.
So glad you liked them knittingchicky!
