Comments: This is a very nice pattern--the cables are in the right place and the thumb is situated perfectly between stitches. And it took less than 1.75 balls of yarn.
Shown with the Burberry Inspired Cowl I recently finished.
I wonder how they can call the yarn "cashmere" when it is mostly wool. However, the yarn is very, very soft and cushy and I liked knitting with it.
Some people wonder what good fingerless mitts are. I like them in our Spring and Fall weather here in Minnesota, but I also like to layer them over another pair of gloves for extra warmth when the weather gets really cold.

I layer mine too, but mostly they are layered under my mittens. The ones I have are fingering weight so they don't stretch enough for over the gloves.
I love the way your Burberry-inspired cowl turned out. I've been looking at a lot of them in thinking about making this pattern, but most are kind of drapey (droopy) and I like the bounce of yours.
FYI, I've been a fan of your blog for quite a while now. I love your knitting aesthetic. Can't remember how I ran across it, but am happy I did.
