katmom	Posted - Mar 04 2015 : 10:48:58 PM I just love wool socks,,, but the last pair I purchased, I wore through the heels.... uugh! So what do you think... can I, should I make a pair of fingerless gloves from them? Has anyone done that?? I was given a pair (red ones)of fingerless gloves... and love them,,, so I am wondering if I can repurpose the socks into gloves... >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com

country treasure	Posted - Mar 07 2015 : 10:00:12 AM GREAT idea Ladies! I find they work great for liners inside heavy chore mitts....WARM!!!! Thanks Judy country wishes!
KathyC	Posted - Mar 05 2015 : 9:00:09 PM Here's how I'm making a pair. I cut the foot off and just used the leg/cuff part. I folded it under about an inch at the finger end and I'm going to crochet around the thumb to reinforce and add a little bit of cover and warmth for the first joint on the thumb. I plan on using wool, I think it will be more comfortable. I use the foot that I cut off for cleaning. It works great to dust blinds and furniture legs. Kathy
katmom	Posted - Mar 05 2015 : 5:13:38 PM I think I will brave it and fold the 'thumb' area over (tuck it in so to speak) and then do a small Blanket stitch around the hole... then I will cut off the top portion, and do likewise... I luv wool socks and as you can see, I wear them to death,,, the heels anyways... lol! now the question is, do I use embroidery floss or wool yarn? >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
Ninibini	Posted - Mar 05 2015 : 12:10:26 PM Hole-y socks, Katmom! Your hole-y socks look just like mine! LOL! I love your idea, Gracie! SO smart! I just may have to switch to wool socks so I can have fingerless gloves, too! :) Hugs - Nini Farmgirl Sister #1974 God gave us two hands... one to help ourselves, and one to help others!

auntsmelly	Posted - Mar 05 2015 : 10:14:01 AM I say go for it! Maybe just reinforce the area you cut with a matching/contrasting thread. Could be cute! Let me know how you do. God has a bigger plan for me than I have for myself. Jenny, Blessed Farmgirl #4359 FGOM October 2013
