My sister and my uncle are both obsessed fishermen. They are often complaining that their hands get cold while they’re holding their rods,waiting for the ‘big one’ to bite, in the crisp New England springtime. Fully gloved hands are too slippery so I thought a nice fingerless mitt would do the job.

I present to you Gone Fishin’. The twisted stitches on the wrists and fingers remind me of the rivers in which the three little fishies have been caught in. The lengths of the fingers and thumbs are easily adjustable to satisfy the preferences of any fisherman. Gone Fishin’ is also ideal for testing out your cabling without a needle skills. Have fun!
