Hmm.. maybe I can do that then. I'll have to look at see what I can find. I don't know about chunky yarn though because I will probably wear them the most when I'm computing. OK, that was silly. If I'm awake, I'm computing and I don't think I'll wear them when I'm asleep. I've got a really nice merino/cashmere blend worsted weight that I think would work well and not be irritating.

Oh - I go away for a little while and people mock me! :-D
But yes - 1 pair and 1 sock of another pair - - which is just too wordy. And it is SOCKS not STOCKS! Your could have noted that Gayla! ;-)

I've been thinking about fingerless gloves. I really want fingerless gloves. I think I NEED fingerless gloves. I may have the perfect yarn for fingerless gloves. I just don't know if I have the skills.

Anyone have a fingerless glove pattern for knitting noobs who aren't so good are knitting much besides squares and rectangles with fringe?

This is the pattern I use for
fingerless gloves

LOL I could have, if I had even noticed! I was way too distracted by the thought of 3 toed socks!

Thanks for the link! I like the look of those but I'm intimidated just reading about them. I'm about a dozen rows into Ami's rectangle idea and loving the way this yarn feels in my hands.

I'm so happy that people like this thread and can share patterns and what not about knitting and crocheting!! Its great..

Quick, simple and exactly what I wanted. Now I want to try it with sock yarn!

Ami - Thank you!
