so...my office is cold because i have 2 big windows and they're old kinda, the kind you turn it to open and obviously they're not very well insulated during winter. i'm usually wearing a hat, fingerless gloves and have the portable heater on, but then i don't like to do the latter, as it dries out the space and as you all know i have to have the right amount of moisture in the air (i have to sleep with a humidifier on, but not the cold one but the hot one). anyway, lately, i've been taken to wearing a scottish wool BLANKET over my shoulder and basically covering my arms. whenever i get cold, my arms get cold and i don't know why people keep wearing vests. when i wear vests, i just get hot (in the torso) and cold (the arms). so this morning, i thought of a (one of my many) brilliant idea: a REVERSE vest, which in fact would be a ARM "vest."

i thought i was original, but alas, i am not: check out this islamic clothing on ebay. i don't think that'd be particularly warming but i guess there IS a 'reverse vest' per se.

any knitters out there who'd like to knit a REVERSE vest for me? that'd be: something like those mittens with strings so that you don't lose the other pair, so that i'd wear the arm vest through the shoulder and then "wear" through the arms. i think this could possibly be a fashion MUST item!

yes? no?
