CraftyPod: Warm Hands! (Cold Heart Optional)

    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.

    I love how they are sewn in, then you can't lose them!
    I just made boot warmers out of rice and socks, free instructions are on my blog. we've had little snow here in the other Portland, send some our way!

    Oh Gosh! What a great idea!
    I'm always freezing! One question: is common rice?

    That is a great idea!! I've always made rice packs to use in lue of a heating pad but never thought to use them like that.

    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 :)
