I concur with Ruth about trying to get a toddler's fingers into the correct holes. I couldn't with the first one, and couldn't with the 2nd, so they wore mittens. Didn't seem to affect the playing in the nsow too much.
Now they're 9 and 6 1/2 and wear gloves. Funnily enough, I have some wonderful mittens that I like to wear sometimes if standing around outside (or sitting the one time I went to a Broncos game, and the odd Spring Rockies game in the biting cold). They're big enough that there's room to move fingers around, and I think I've even gotten a small handwarmer inside one of them. I don't wear them often these days, but there are times when they are useful. Strange. But I don't have the string going from one to the other :-) Cheers, Helen, Aussie in Denver To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
