Aren't they beautiful! These are my fingerless gloves from the AlterKnits books. These knitted up very quickly. I followed the pattern in the book for the most part. I choose to mix the colors up a little just because I could, so I used one of the variagated Manos del Uruaguy yarns, and matched that with a solid of the same yarn. I cast on 32 like the pattern called for, but since I used size 7 needles instead of 8, I had to adjust the length a little. I just kinda eyeballed it. But I really like how they turned out. You might notice that one of the gloves has the varigated striped into the body, and the other one is solid. I did this mostly because after doing the stripped one I got sick of weaving all the ends in and decided to make the other one soild. I think it adds a little punkness to the gloves. Okay well the ribobn was bought at the local fabric store (hancock?) and I just got some sheer ribbon. Well hopefully these will keep my little fingers warm as I type at work!
