We share similar interests I think!<br /><br />Second- I'm a Minnesotan, and I walk to work (6 blocks) so winter is basically a fight to the most layers as I leave the house. multiple scarves, in particular order layered over hoods, hats, mittens, sweaters, tights under pants at times... <br /><br />it's brutal, but I can't seem to leave it...<br /><br />cheers!<br />Meri<br /><br />merigoesround.blogspot.comMerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08423593911232228585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583837399951431160.post-40266514305118612922010-12-01T17:41:24.134-06:002010-12-01T17:41:24.134-06:00@Gillie I wish I had the patience to knit my own a...@Gillie I wish I had the patience to knit my own accessories...I never progressed past scarves and I wasn't even very good at those :( I always lost a stitch somewhere...<br /><br />Those sound excellent! I have a pair of leopard print gloves from some Walgreens sale rack, I'm hoping to invest in a pair of nice leather ones (with buttons, please!)<br /><br />I like to layer my gloves with armwarmers to get rid of that bothersome gap between the bottom of your glove and the sleeve of the coat that lets so much cold air in.<br /><br />@Sara I think a lot of them are super cute, and they are the best of both worlds! I guess I just feel like a kiddo when I wear mittens, when I want to feel a little bit like a fabulous early-20th-century lady!Jennifer Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05337172905513370656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583837399951431160.post-73945534520830127492010-11-29T22:25:51.484-06:002010-11-29T22:25:51.484-06:00I'm becoming a fan of "glittens," as...I'm becoming a fan of "glittens," as I've heard them called. The "constraining" aspect of the mitten portion keeps your fingers warmer than gloves do, because all your fingers are snuggled together and sharing body heat. If and when you require fine motor coordination, you just flip the top part back. They're exquisitely functional! They do look kinda weird, though. Those gloves you picked out are certainly more attractive.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484385199152696204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583837399951431160.post-14107580746900786812010-11-29T21:56:48.781-06:002010-11-29T21:56:48.781-06:00I knit and crochet about 90% of my cold weather ac...I knit and crochet about 90% of my cold weather accessories. The only thing I don't make is gloves - I love a sleek pair of professionally made gloves. <br /><br />The pair I have now is brown velour with cream plaid, and they're glorious. I've had my eye on a gorgeous pair of black leather gloves with little studded bows at the wrist. They're ladylike and bad-ass at the same time.<br /><br />I just can't wear full gloves when I drive, it's like I can't get a good grip on the steering wheel if I can't actually feel it in my hands. I made some cute little handwarmers for driving or as an extra layer under gloves on an especially frosty day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
