Fetching!
This one took some major thinking! I had to pull a stash skein out and pick thru the colors of it to finish this project off. Here are the results: 
The colors coordinate, but they do not match each other at all. They are very comfy; I've been wearing them non-stop since I finished them on Saturday. I will wash them tonight, and let them dry, as Noro Silk Garden softens up a lot after it's washed. They are nice to wear while knitting; they provide a little extra warmth without getting in the way. Oh, and they are good for throwing the football around too, since we took the kids to the park Saturday afternoon. So, they have THAT going for them too!
Stats: Fetching, from Knitty
Yarn: Noro Silk Garden (1 full skein-or 2 partial skeins)
Needles: Denise, size called for in pattern
Mods: Used the sewn bind off instead of the picot bind off. Added 2 extra rows to the thumb and palm.
LOVE THEM~~Can't wait to make another pair soon!
