Snow is fun - suck it up!
I’ve seen hand warming packs for hunters, et al. but they are disposable, which really isn’t my style. I try to stay away from disables as much as humanly possible. I like reusables. And then there’s the question of what’s in that stuff that makes the hot packs hot on demand. That’s not something I want Mr. Fluffypants find and use as a chew toy either.
But having a nice warm pack in my gloves would be a pleasant way to keep the cold from eating through my gloves and making my fingers go numb when walking the dog on a winter’s day.
Well, here ya go. Crafty Stylish has a genius way to make gloves that you can warm up in the microwave! Their microwave hand warming gloves are a brilliant variation on my chambered microwave heating pad. I already have an old pair of old gloves, rice, and felt scraps at home ready and waiting for a project I didn't know I needed until now.

I’m whipped up a pair for frozen dog walking days!

That is fabulous!! I sometimes wear a pair of "magic gloves" inside mittens (so I can take off the mittens and have fingers free but covered), and the warm gloves would work great with that setup. I like some commenters' suggestion of a pocket with removable heat pack.
Susanna - I do the same thing. Great minds think alike?
Oooh, I loooove this! I've been trying to come up with some sort of a large mitten warmer for my Grandmother-in-law to wear around the house, because she has arthritis.
I found you at Today's Creative Blog!
So very clever! It is so darn cold here! I need these perky gloves!
This is a great idea. Thanks for sharing it. It think when I make it though, I'm not going to sew the pack into the glove that way I can wear the gloves without the heating pack and then I can transfer the packs between different pairs of gloves.
I love this idea, we camp alot and spen lots of cold days outside, how wonderful to have warm hands. Thanks for sharing.

How fantastic! I had no idea these types of gloves even existed. I will definitely be adding this to my gift list for all of my friends with pets.
Thanks for such a great tip!
What fun! Leave it to you to make a handwarmer from stuff you have at home. You are so great.
Awesome. I need something like this too, for walking the slobbery Boxer that lives here. Thank goodness, though, it's a little warmer now, huh?
