    I'm a knitter, since I was 8 years old, and a Filet crocheter... yards and yards of white delicate edging that I never did anything with.

    I haven't made these myself, but here are some instructions for fingerless gloves from knitty.com.

    That Cigar style makes a lot of sense.

    i love these fingerless gloves. I'm unfortunately not a knitter and I saw a pair of fingerless gloves at target but didn't buy them. of course when I went back to get them they were sold out.

    I'm a luddite--no scanner so no picture.

    I really like the color combo. It will be a warm bugger, too.

    Anyone else crochet and/or knit?
    I like to knit- I'm working on a pretty variegated color shawl w/ fringe right now. I want to tackle a sweater next. I crochet a little. not much. Jenn

    Just for your general information- you've waited so long that you can now skip the scanner phase altogether and just get a digital camera and load the pix directly into your computer in seconds.

    Or you could shoot film and have it put on a disc when you get your negs developed. Even that's old technology.
