Fingerless gloves

This is a pair of fingerless gloves I made for my step-mom for Christmas. They're made from America's Alpaca Classic Lite, which is an on-the-heavy-side sockweight yarn, 100% alpaca. They're my own pattern, but I'm considering refining it into a formal pattern to share. They feature a 6-stitch cable up the center back, with a 2-stitch twist on either side and ribs in between; the ribbing, but not the cabling, continues up into the fingers, for extra stretchability there, since these are intended to be worn at her chilly office while working.

And now, pictures!




A shot of both gloves together.

Add me to the list of people saying: I'd totally knit these if you shared the pattern.

... I want the pattern. I have yet to find a pair of fingerless gloves I liked, but I /like/ that pair. (Plus that blue is gorgeous. What yarn is that?)

Correction: what color is that (I see the yarn listed at the top of the post, but want to find that specific color for another project)?

Unfortunately I seem to have lost the ball band, and from looking at this page, it doesn't really look like any of the current colors for this yarn -- the Cowboy Blue is a little too light. I really think it looks most like the Marine Blue, which they have in DK weight but not this sockweight anymore, apparently. They do have color cards, for the DK weight at least, so maybe that would be a help.

Hey, I found the ball band! It was color #1600, which is Great Lakes, and according to this page it's only sold in cones now, but if that doesn't suit you may be able to find someone who's got it in balls still, since that's how I had it.

Found you through Google, and I would also love to see the pattern if you formalize it. Great work!
