hey nostr fam! for those of you who live in places that actually get cold, do you guys wear mittens?
I really want to knit a pair or two but not sure if they're practical and actually get used or if the knitterverse loves knitting them cuz they're pretty.
Only when I go hunting cause my hands are so white. Maybe an opportunity there?
I don’t work with gloves on, all gloves are too bulky - just gotta smother my hands in lard every night
Personally I like gloves with fingers.
that's what I'm used to too when I have to wear something to keep my hands warm, but they are sooo much harder to knit.
They’re not super practical for me. If I’m working outdoors, it’s usually something that I need dexterity for.
That being said, walking outdoors when it’s cold outside - would rock mittens.
yeah! thats what I was thinking too. thanks 👍
I prefer mittens for warmth, and I've got a pair I bought for that, but when I need more dexterity I crocheted these:
I evetually made them a little longer (up to the first knuckle), but they're perfect for when I need the full use of my fingers.
yes! fingerless mitts are so useful!
They get used! Totally worth knitting.
