Sorry to ask a stupid question, but what are walking poles? Is it a cold weather thing that we in Florida would not know about? Thanks.

Marg, congrats on being the Daily Knitter pattern of the day!.

Oh YES! I definitely want to see your sweater when it's done.

Get the patent before somebody steals your idea and becomes the next Bill Gates!

That's pretty ingenious of you. Who else would have thought of such a thing? It makes me think of how my hands use to sweat when riding a bike sometimes, but I never wanted to wear gloves, of course. These would work on handlebar grips, too. What a smart thinker you are.

Hmmmm - good idea - these could also be used on the end of floor brushes/mops etc.
