Birthday's a-comin!

Halloween Stuff:
Today is Halloween! One of my favorite "holidays" and always a fun one... well, when you put a little effort into it. (Sadly, I didn't this year. No costume, no decoration, and we only got like 4 trick-or-treaters.) What am I going to do with 2 bags worth of candy??? It'll last until next spring! Oh well.

Almost forgot - GAUNTLETS!

On Friday night I started (and got within a few rows of finishing) the first wristwarmer. On Saturday morning I finished it and whipped out the mate. Jon pointed out that wristwarmers might be a misnomer, since they cover an awful lot of my hands. I guess they are technically fingerless mittens, but I actually prefer calling them gauntlets.

I wore my wristwarmers in a 9-hour meeting at work today. I was shocked, shocked at what an awesome difference they made. That particular conference room often has an awful chill, but I felt a ton better just wearing these silly things. Also, and this is the best part, they allowed me to type a lot better on my laptop during the meeting because they prevented the heels of my hands from activating the touchpad and making my cursor jump all over the page when I was typing. It was AWESOME. I am going to make a bunch of these in different colors and styles I think.
