My new fingerless gloves!

Here are my new pair of gloves which I just finished knitting yesterday.
I knitted with the excess wool that I had from my doctor who scarf so now I've got a whole winter set safe for the hat which is my next knitting project!
As you can see, it's all done in fair isle which was simple to do. The middle part was a bit difficult though as I was using three strands of yarn at once so it was hard to keep the tension loose.
Sorting out the finger holes were a bit tricky too. The pattern I was using wasn't the clearest so I had to spend a lot of time just deciphering it! Speaking of deciphering, my sisters and I have just been doing exactly that working out how you spell the blinking word!
I couldn't have made the gloves at a better time actually. I've been feeling really cold recently what with the transitions of the season starting.
So what do you think of the modeling then??
