TGV Shawl Finish and.....
Today's topics were Love of wildlife and Love of Fingerless gloves.
Living in suburbia means more wildlife than you'd think these days. We see fox, coyote, deer, hummingbirds, all very occasionally. We see skunk, possum, raccoon and sparrows all the time.
Just about every form of wildlife thrills me. My father was/is a hunter/fisherman and his love of the outdoors is in my genes. My mother, on the other hand, is the polar opposite. There have been Cougar sightings in our area this summer. What a thrill that would be! My friend Karen has been hearing an owl in her yard recently at night....I'm on call to run over the next time she hears it....
As for Fingerless, I'm a huge fan. I suppose it is time I make another pair. I just rib at both ends of straight stockinette. If I give a pair to someone who doesn't GET it, they are not nearly as loved as someone who does get it. I'd rather give to someone who'll wear them out using them....
but wouldnt we all?
So wildlife and fingerless? Any thoughts?

When I lived on the farm, I was surrounded by wildlife, and it was such a treat to see deer, fox, coyote, all kinds of birds, an occasional elk or moose. Now all I see are some birds and rabbits - not much excitement in that. ;o(

Who doesn't love fingerless. I've worn all of mine so much I really need to knit some new ones. You have inspired me!!
I see several animals around my place: birds, chipmunk, rabbits, lizards, an occasional fox or coyote, and (this summer)several antelope.
I love fingerless until it gets to be about 32 degrees then my fingers get too cold and begin to hurt/ache. Then I move to my mittens!!!!!
Not a fan of fingerless. My fingers and toes are the first things to get cold!
I used to work at a nature center in highschool. I loved it! Got to be near all kinds of wildlife!
Lovely shawl!
I love fingerless gloves. It means I can still type in them! Also, my fingers are too long for most store-bought gloves, so it's kind-of a defense mechanism.
