On the yarn train to Portland this last Saturday I started my fingerless gloves. My office in the house is freezing in the winter even with a space heater. Only one side of my body gets warm and my mouse hand aches. SOOO, I decided to make these gloves. They are made from Cascade yarn Cloud 9, which is a angora/wool blend. The more I wear them the fuzzier they will get. I picked a pattern from a book and just added the rib, I stitched the sides together leaving a spot for my thumb. It was a 33 cast on since the pattern was an odd number and I just knitted the extra stitches and it came out perfect. The name of the pattern design is Fern Lace. Thanks for looking.

Kristen,
They are beautiful...I want to learn to crochet this year....need to get some needles and yarn first...Then maybe you can teach me how to knit and make these....

Thank you Carrie. I can do that, but this is knit not crochet. Do you have circular needles ( I find them easiest) size 8 is what I used for this, size 7 would work too.
they are very pretty.
