Ok, I admit, with head hanging low, that I jumped on the fingerless glove bandwagon and came up with this pattern for my girls, ages 7 and 10. Ok, I declare, with head held high, that I love these things - they are fun to make, a great use of scrap yarn, cute, and can be nifty gifts. They are also a good way to get your knitting in the round thing going without investing a huge amount of time or effort. As a crocheter, the whole knitting in the round thing is (was) somewhat of an intimidating mystery to me. I used two different types of yarn for two very different results, one a basic chunky the other a super bulky novelty yarn. Experiment and enjoy!
