Fingerless Gloves

At last I have completed the fingerless driving gloves. These are quite comfortable and I am happy with them.The gloves have 16 rows of a twisted rib cuff, and then six or so rows of K1, P1, rib stitch. The twisted rib is very attractive, but it flares a bit rather than resting on my wrist. Combine that fact with all the leftover yarn and I get the desire for wrist warmers to match my gloves.

That is what I have cast on right now. I'm going to make them all in K1 P1 ribbing, with a slight gradual decrease from the mid-forearm to the wrist. Hopefully they will tuck right up under the flare in the gloves' cuff and keep me nice 'n toasty.

I forgot to add when it's cold?

Um...no. I'll get the leather driving gloves to go along with my brass knuckles, thank you very much. :-p

Great gloves for cellists!

Once, when rummaging through our mitten, hat and scarf bag, one of my sons asked if we were rich in gloves.
