Or typing gloves, or fingerless gloves--whichever name one puts to them. I started the NewYear off right by sewing up two pair of these easy to make but kinda' cute hand warmers. The pattern is V8703, by Marcy Tilton.
They need a knit fabric-fleece or any other type of appropriate weight knit. Mine are made from black stretch Velveteen, with black stretch lace trim. These are the easiest little thingies to make, and I can see them in a leopard print or brightly colored knits, or even made from a discarded sweater. The most difficult part of the whole thing is finding stretch trim, which I'll be watching for now.
These texting gloves would make a nice little gift, especially for those who work in an office that's drafty. A little late for Christmas, but there are other holidays, and Christmas does come around again before we blink an eye. Marcy talks about them here:http://marcytilton.com/index.php?cid=1703
Daughter, you're getting a pair, sweetie.
