Isn't she fetching. . .

Fetching
Pattern: Knitty.com
Yarn: Rowan Cashsoft Aram 57% extra fine merino; 33% microfibre; 10% cashmere
Needles: Size 8
Completed: February 1, 2007

Notes: I followed this pattern pretty much verbatim. However, I decided, after looking at the picot bind-off, to use a regular bind-off instead. I struggled with the thumbs a bit, and fiddled with them a bit to assure there weren't any gaps on either side of the opening. I love, love, love this yarn. It felt wonderful to knit with. It feels awesome to wear. I must make more of these. I really think this is a knit I'll wear repeatedly.

Ou! seriously, these could be one of my favorite things you've made. I love fingerless gloves and the cabling is totally awesome. Impressive!
