fingerless gloves from old socks.

The annual "break out the knee socks"

 weather has arrived!

And so once I again I go through my sock basket and

see whats too worn to wear.

I had a few pairs on the verge of becoming hole-y

I loved the patterns from these

So instead of just tossing them I decided to make some fingerless gloves!

re-use, re-cycle

win win!

This time I did a little different then in the past. 

I cut the top (or toe) part straight off

then I cut the heel part out. 

you can see in the pic above

 I ran some embroidery thread up the middle section. 

And then hand stitched the edges of the top

and thumb hole myself

making sure to stretch out the fabric as you go.

(otherwise your fingers may have a hard time fitting through)

 tada!!

Fingerless gloves!

Great for keeping the arms and hands warm

and still giving you access to all your fingers

You can even layer them over shorter fingered gloves for added warmth
