A few years back I bought a pair of gloves and they are one of my favourite pairs still, here they are: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/alabamawhirly/alfredo-glo...
So how could I resist making myself a second pair from this wonderful pattern?

This pair were inspired by the lovely colour choices of gingerknitting’s shadowy alfredos: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/gingerknitting/alfredo-gl... and made with yarn that I had stashed.

I’m doing what I always do with gloves - opening them out and knitting on 2 needles then mattress stitch seaming at the end - it works for me as I find knitting on dpns a chore.
