Work in progress: Fingerless gloves

Here's my latest knitting project. First I made this prototype and I decided that it looked too much like a cast or one of those wrist guards that roller bladers and snowboarders wear. Poo!



After a lot of helpful advice I changed the center braid to something a little more delicate and extended the palm and I created this one:



I like it a lot better, but I think I need to do a different cast off method. This one is a bit tight. Also I think I'm going to add a thumb to the finished version.
