As I’m working in my sewing room more lately, I noticed something:
It’s really frigging cold in there!
My sewing room is in the basement and it’s pretty cold in the basement. I’m a cold person generally. I just don’t warm up or stay warm easily. Especially my hands. I need to draw sketches, draw patterns, cut paper, pin and cut fabric and use a serger and a sewing machine in my sewing room. Any of those could go horribly wrong if I tried to do them with cold, numb hands. And a couple could end in personal injury!
So these are my prototype sewing handwarmers. The yarn is Red Heart Soft in this great dark teal colour. The pattern is Toasty by Leslie Friend. The original cast on of 40 stitches was too many, so I changed it to 32 instead. Now they aren’t so wide. I think these are a little long for me, but that’s ok. I have a friend in mind who I think would like these!
