Why I love fingerless gloves

I just love fingerless gloves, they are so practical and they look so nice too.

As an artist and writer, fingerless gloves are so useful, because they keep my hands warm, but allow my fingers to retain their dexterity by not being covered by fabric. With them I can easily type, draw, and crochet or knit without having any trouble.

As a knitter yourself, I am sure these simple fingerless gloves will come very handy. (Pun intented :P)

And for your friends and family that aren’t knitters, well… they will come handy too. We all use our smartphones and tablets and need free fingers in order to operate those devices without trouble. Even for the gamers out there, is way easier to press buttons and move controllers with free fingers.
