That's the bargain of the year. I predict a lot of these being ordered for Christmas presents.

After my parent's 40th anniversary vow renewal, I'll have a little extra money to toss around- I think I may have to place an order! Those are lovely!!

I can think of another great advertising aspect you can make use of----they are iPhone, iPod and iPad compatible, along with all the other touch screen phones and devices, which will not work with gloved fingers (many elevator buttons too). I usually wear calfskin driving gloves in cool weather, but it bugs the crap out of me to have to rip one of them off when my phone rings to be able just to answer the darn thing, and I usually end up missing the call. Then I have to leave my glove off while I make the call back, or listen to the voicemail, or do whatever else I need to on the touch screen.

So you can advertise them as "iPhone, iPod, iPad, and other touch-screen friendly gloves".

Like Sir William, I've made great use of "wristers" when doing the 18 C. reenactment and period hunting thing. Loading and firing a flintlock requires some fine manipulations, and these items are great when the temperature drops.
Great looking mitts, Matt...!

Matt those are gorgeous! Did she design them herself? I love that the cable is off-center. very visually pleasing.

Well the basic fingerless glove or mitten design is pretty common, but as far as the cable pattern and the ribbing I'm pretty sure that's her own design. We talked about what I wanted and she showed me a few options and I picked that one.

They are still keeping my hands warm! Though today I wore my full leather gloves with fingers. It was 3 degrees outside my house this morning!
