Lately I have been complaining of being cold at work and last week I
decided to do something about it. I made R.(my boss) and I each a
pair of fingerless gloves. I didn't have a pattern, so just tried to
match them to my hand. Her's are the red ones and mine are the blue
ones. Mine for some reason, turned out larger than her's using the
exact pattern & needles. I may redo them before next winter,
but for now - they do the job.Original comments:
At 10, I took a knitting class with my mother & learned to read patterns (so then could teach myself to read crochet patterns) - but never finished that 1st sweater we bought all the yarn for.
Then I pretty much only crocheted until I was in my 20's - when my mil decided to make the kids all a hat & mittens in a 1 week visit. The girls fit fine, but E's hat was way too big (would have even been too big on D!) and so I took it back out after she left & redid it. And I was then hooked on knitting.
I prefer afghans & such to be crochet (although I might change that now that I have learned to hide the ends better! At least when using 1 color) and for sweaters & such to be knit.
