You Give Glove a Bad Name (Bad Name)
Sure, they look well enough, just a pair of fingerless gloves knit from Weekend Knitting.

But the devil is in the details. In this case, the yarn. Elspeth Lavold Silky Wool is a terrible choice for working gloves, especially at the gauge specified in the pattern. Now, I love me some Silky Wool, but these gloves are very thin and very delicate. Great for a sweater, but only providing hand decoration and no hand protection. Something was wrong in how I knit them, too. There are some gaps and badly done Ktogs. Sloppy! (And sadly, typical.)
Oh well, from a distance they're fine and it's not like I'm going to be out shoveling snow with these. They were fast, too. Oh, and I should add, I mainly knit these to prove to myself that I could knit gloves* since up until now I've only ever done the Glove-esque Tube With Thumb Gusset. So yay me!
*Yes, I know, these are still fingertip-less. I could have gone all the way if I wanted! For reals!
