Thanks for the kind comments :D

i have been through the 'feeling sorry for myself' stage and although I know there is no cure as such for what I have, I have to believe that life is worth living.  ;D ;D
There are always others who are worse off and I'm really thankful for the things I do have and am able to do.
I have days when even getting out of bed is agony yet my plot keeps me going.  When I was small I didn't understand why my grandad kept going out in all weather to check his veg yet now I can't imagine not having my plot.

Re: Swollen Hands - sock gloves for warm wrists
« Reply #43 on: November 30, 2008, 00:39:15 »
Someone else might find my 'sock glove' idea useful. Keeps the wrists warm, but unlike fingerless gloves, also allows you to type easily (this is for me sitting cold at my desk and layering up to the max!) - but I actually designed them to cover my forearms, as I get welts from grass, leaves and twigs when I'm gardening.
You get a long pair of socks, something that won't simply unravel when you cut it - i.e. not old-fashioned knitted wool, but a fine-weave modern fabric. Cut off the toe part of the foot. Then cut off the heel - put your thumb through the heel hole and your fingers through the toe hole.

There you go, an anti-plant-scratch-wrist-warming-gauntlet. Go for stripey socks like I did and you'll look *good* and eccentric. :D

That sounds like a good idea ;D

I wonder if it will catch on, and we will see sloves/glocks  everywhere.

I'm going to give it a go, epecially for when I'm on the computer in the office. It's always the coldest room in the house.

Shall I invest in an overlocker and go into production? 'It's a sock! It's a glove! It's a slove-glock!'
I'm sure it will be as successful as the snood...
:D

This has much more potential ;D

Today the slove, tomorrow the world!!!

You could expand into the scat (scarf/hat) ,trickers (trousers/Knickers) or even brest (bra/vest) ;D ;D ;D
