Cabled Gloves

I found a really cute mitten pattern online here (the pattern is available for free at the right of that page.) I didn't want to make full mittens though, since I find fingers to be quite useful. So I modified the pattern a bit, and cast on for fingerless gloves made using a slightly adjusted version of the cabling.

Here's the first little bit of knitting on them. You can see a little bit of the Harmony DPNs I was working with.

The knitting went really well. I finished the first glove without a problem, and the second one flew by as well. I weaved in the ends of the 2nd glove, tried them on, and this is what I saw:


I (accidentally) did an extra bit of cabling on the second (left-hand) glove! The result was that a) it looked funny and b) the gloves were different lengths. Luckily it was a quick fix - just ripped back 6 or 7 rows and knit the 4 I was supposed to. Here's a picture of the finished product:

(That's a picture of me behind them, unfortunately, I don't have a picture of them on the recipient.)
