Notes

These are one of the coolest things I’ve made in a long time. I LOVE these. Yarn is wonderful, soft and one of the most pleasing yarns I have used in a long, long time.

The pattern itself is very well written with very good descriptions, very refreshing.
Love the clever thumb treatment and the cute little purl bind-off. Very good explanation of the jogless join too. Really like that the color change is on the outside of the hand, makes for a really polished looking glove.

The fit is wonderful, I did go down a needle size as I am a loose knitter and wanted to make sure the fabric was going to stand up well to the wear,and so far so good.

Oh, and about the name, the colors reminded of old letter jacket colors.
