I love fingerless gloves! I find them to be functional and cute, and I wear my other pair all the time. I have been eyeing these for eons, and finally knit them up over my spring break. I was quite pleased to find that I could knit the smallest size with less than one skein of the
Malabrigo. Short and sweet. I like the scalloped edge and the easy lace combined with the simple stockinette. I love lace bits thrown into stockinette or garter pieces. Contrast is good.

I think it goes without saying that I heart the yarn. I started with three skeins, I now have one fab cowl and these gloves. What will my awesome third project be?
