I’m a little slo-o-o-ow getting back to the blogging – I’ve spent this week catching up on all the gatherings that got postponed during Arctic Blast 2008. I do have piles of things to share, but need to re-set my office before I can bust out the photo rig.
All those lame excuses aside, here’s something I can share with you today: a little crafty hack I made for CraftStylish.
This ten-minute project has you making small, hidden rice packs for your knit gloves. You tack these bad-boys inside the palms, pop the gloves in the microwave, and presto! Warm, toasty hands!
The how-to is over here. Enjoy!
Diane,
These are a brilliant hack. I can see tacking those rice bags over the wrists in gloves or gauntlets, then freezing them or zapping them to treat that constant ache from too much computerizing/knitting/weight training.
Hmm..

Wow – we must have been sharing some crafty vibes across the country, because I was just thinking of doing this with cow corn. My mom’s made larger heating pads with them for years, and I literally just thought to put them in handwarmers this past week. Freaky-deaky!

That’s quite awesome. As a perpetual sufferer of cold extremities, I may have to give that a try.

How I would have loved these many years ago when I was in marching band in northern Ohio.

Oh Gosh! What a great idea!
I’m always freezing! One question: is common rice?
A hug from Portugal!

You are such a smarty hearty! Don’t you know I have a bunch of “magic” gloves stashed from when I was sure I was going to knit up a bunch of fun fur cuffs! Well I never knit up the cuffs, but I’ve still got the gloves, and a big ole bin of rice. I love this idea :)
