Making Gloves!

Actually half fingered gloves. . . I have done two, fully, two others are half done. There are pictures of experimental prototype one and two on my twit pic's. They are VERY, VERY comfortable, and keep my hands warm and still allow me to be able to dial my phone and keep an secure grip on the vases. If you look at the pictures, you will see a sharp learning curve in play. . . 1st one, very loose crochet, 2ND down a hook size, trying to keep it as tight as possible and MUCH, MUCH more of a shape. The third one is half way done and much better still, as I modified my design (not using a pattern!) and went down another second hook size.

Reactions. . . .
twice: Boxing gloves! (?), A fellow driver and a security guard at Countrywide.
Three Times; They make me look like a homeless person, particularly prototype one. :(
Opinion of: Pizza Manager, fellow driver, BEST FRIEND. (Oi, the sharp tooth that cuts. . .)

Reaction of Co Workers at Florist, who understand that I am holding ice cold vases all day long
Great! They know I'm working on the design, and that every one that I do, is dramatically better then the one previously.

Reaction of Sister: zip, no response to messages. She is pleased that I am talking about crochet instead of ex-boyfriend.
