Hi Richard! We’re very fond of Lena, though we’ve never met in real life :)

Hi Kara,

I am Lena’s dad. She said nice things about you and I was curious.

Have a nice day.

Lena, they would be relatively easy, especially if you skip the thumb tube and just leave a little opening there. You could make them all one color to make them even easier. To make them ridiculously easy, you could knit them flat, just a rectangle, and sew up the side leaving a thumb opening! :) Email me and we can discuss yarn and I can write you up a little newbie pattern!

Or I could knit you some in the color and pattern of your choice for a small fee ;-)

Oh WOW! I so need some of those for the keyboard while typing. I took some cheap ones from Wal-greens and cut off the fingers. They work pretty well, but a bit thick between the fingers. I wonder how hard those would be for a “never knitted before” gal? Definitely going on the list of things to make one day.

Nice job Kara. They are wonderful!
