Fingerless gauntlets, long fingerless mitts

I think I'll make another pair of fingerless mitts next. I have been thinking of how to contour them to the forarm, wrist and hand. I've some nice dark sage yarn, another e-bay find again sans label, that I want to get into. This yarn is alot more durable than the exotic yarns I have used recently. The alpacas and angoras are very pretty, and they are great for gifts and things that do not see a lot of wear like hats n scarfs. Mitts and gloves on the other hand, at least mine, get beaten up and ratty looking pretty fast if I use the more fragile exotic yarns.
Heading off now to cast onto my DPNs.
