My favorite gloves

The weather's getting colder, so the other day I dug out these fingerless gloves that I knit a couple of years ago. They are starting to show their age because I've worn them a lot, because I love them! The pattern is from Last-Minute Knitted Gifts, a book I can't recommend highly enough. I've made so many things from this book: kids denim pants, stuffed bunny and elephant, kids scarf, a little purse, baby hats and adult hats.

For these gloves, I used the same yarn used in the book pattern, the name of which escapes me. It's a wool/silk/cashmere blend and very cozy to wear. I like having my fingers free to avoid the clumsiness that often accompanies wearing full gloves.
