Gloves and mittens go a long way toward keeping your hands warm in the cold weather, but they also put you at a disadvantage for simple tasks like gripping a doorknob, or turning a key, or texting on your phone. Thing Becky from Patchwork Posse shares a tutorial at Sugar Bee Crafts showing how you can make a pair of fingerless gloves from an old sweater or fleece. They’ll keep your hands warm but leave your fingers free. Go to Sugar Bee Crafts to get her tutorial.
