Warm Hands, 2006-2007~
After much begging, (okay, okay one person. And they didn't beg, they suggested. Same difference!) I do believe it's time to have a Warm Hands Knitalong again. Even though today is 80 degrees, warm and sunny summerlike, the fall nip is in the air and the thought of cold hands can't help but creep into the psyche.
So, do you want to knit mittens? Along with lots of others? I am not going to run a contest, just so you know. This is purely to get hands into mittens.
Let's stay with last year's rules.
Here's the rules in case you are thinking of joining. I'm a stickler for rules ;)
1. Knit mittens
2. knit them now
3. or later
4. just knit them
5. You must finish them
6. Or not. Your call
7. Share your progress with me
8. I know that Tuesday is Knitalong day in some worlds, but here it will be MItten Monday. Sunday would be a good day to email me with updates.
9. Be happy and have warm hands!
~~~
Wanna?
please email me at areyourhandscold@gmail.com and you're in! Be sure to leave me your blog name and email address!
If there is anything I can't stand is COLD HANDS!

As long as the mittens don't have to be bitchin', count me in!

As long as the mitten can be fingerless, I'm in.

Sounds like my kind of KAL

Sure, it was warm today, but I'm not fooled, and it looks like you weren't either! It's warm hands time again, and I will be knitting right along with you. :-)

Can the blogless join in? No blog here, but I want to knit mittens in good company.

Can they be mittens without fingers and without palms, say wristwarmers? If not I have some Helgi's mittens I need to pick up again and finish. That's what I'll do!

I just had a flash of an idea for a pair of knit mittens, so I have to sign up for this. :)

You freaking crack me up.
Didn't you get the memo? *I* was begging. No, really. I WAS! :D
I make no promises. I am working on something to which I am being monogamous. Mittens will probably happen, no doubt. But you know about me and knitalongs. Bad combo.

I'd love to join! I plan to make a bunch of mitt and glove sets for my roommate and possibly the needy.

You know I can't resist mittens :)
Count me in.
