Emergency crochet to the rescue!

I'm doing spotlights for Amber's show, and you're supposed to bring a heat-proof glove because those lights get hot enough to burn you. One of the other spots people showed us a scar from a previous show. Despite having reminded myself 3 times during the day not to forget, I forgot my gloves in the house and didn't remember until just after we'd gotten on the freeway -- too late to turn back.

Sometimes you can get away with not having a glove if your cues are short, but they gave me the job of being center spot on Alice, which is on for nearly the whole show. I had remembered my crochet bag, so during our half-hour break I did some emergency crochet work and made myself a suitable spotlight mitten. It fits like a glove! I'm so proud of myself, I thought I'd share. There is a use to all these hobby skills I'm learning.
