"glittens" or "mloves"
Glittens is not my invention, the name I mean. I saw it somewhere else.
I think I like "mloves" better. These came about because I couldn't do the pattern at the time.
Supposed to be fingerless gloves (from Weekend Knitting book) but
I got frustrated after the first finger and wanted to finish them quickly and so these were born. As it turns out, my DH LOVES THEM. He says their perfect and wears them all the time. I think they're kind of neat too, might make me a pair.

Quite clever! I see how it adds to the dexterity, yet maintains warmth!

They look great, I wish I had some. I think the idea behind the invention was for soldiers to get the warmth of mittens but still be able to use their trigger fingers.
