    Thumbs up

    I spotted these on your website last night Matt & fell in love with them (though I'd want the fingers to be just a wee bit longer....next knuckle up). They are on my wish list!

    I found this site through your blog whilst I was looking for tartan patterns to knit. I am a knitter, I knit for a living and I see that your wife is an expert as well. Those are very nice gloves.

    Those are nice!

    I've been making fingerless gloves for piping, but I just get these $1 cotton gloves and cut the fingers out. Yours look like they'd be really comfortable and warm.

    Nice gloves, Matt. You're wife is very talented, just like you.

    Now, I'll have to see if my wife can do this for me??? I haven't had fingerless gloves since the early 80's...use to use them on those cold days when I was rock climbing.

I have quite the Christmas list for him - fingerless mitts, earflap hat, and an x-kilt! Would your wife mind you sharing her Ravelry user name so I can look her up?
    No problem at all. :-) Her user name on Ravelry is JMN.

    Okay, the big question - is she taking orders, and how much would she be asking? I kind of like the "no fingers" look - I think they add to the masculine feel.

    After my parent's 40th anniversary vow renewal, I'll have a little extra money to toss around- I think I may have to place an order! Those are lovely!!
