“The mittens aren’t for fishing - would be easy to get hooks caught in the stitches...”

LOL!
I suspect these guys have specialized gloves for actually fishing. The guy has to have the “latest & greatest” of everything. He has actually seen the crochet version of fingerless mitts a couple of years ago & liked them - this was when I first started doing them & made a pair for all the bowhunters in the family. My brother still has his original pair because he says they are his “lucky mitts” - they’ve even been elk hunting with him a couple of times. They’re getting pretty worn out & I made him a new crocheted pair last year in the same pattern, but he still uses the old ones.
Sitting at the car dealership getting my dad’s truck inspected. Driving is not an issue, but getting in with a brace on is problematic. It’s so high I had to get a folding stool to get in - put a rope on the stool & pulled it in after me :-) I’m on their free WiFi, but wish I’d brought my knitting!
