I finally got around to knitting the fingerless mittens from the last part of the Vintage Purls Summer Sock Club and I am very pleased with them. I didn't knit them in the wool provided - a denim blue - but instead chose a high twist fingering weight (4ply) 100 % merino from 'Joy of Yarns', colour: Blackcurrant. This range of yarn is no longer available, but as I only used 67grams for the long gloves I have another 33g available for something smaller.
Excuse the second and third pictures as it is very tricky to take a picture of one's own hand. :-)
I wrote about the pattern on my ravelry project page - it was interesting and challenging to knit - but the pattern was not as full as I would have liked. I can see myself modifying it slightly to knit some more gloves in the near future.
And oh! My wrists are so super warm now.
