I bought the yarn for these fingerless gloves while I was studying abroad in Spring 2016. I was studying in Vienna, but I traveled to Edinburgh during my Spring Break to attend the Edinburgh Yarn Festival, and it was amazing. I had never been surrounded by so much yarn and so many yarn lovers in my life! I returned to Vienna & quickly whipped up these fingerless gloves, and I when I wear them I feel the same way I did at EYF - super cozy & super happy!
