Bulky Fingerless Gloves on 2 Straights

I came up with this pattern for two reasons: 1) I wanted to create a pattern for people that want to make fingerless gloves, but haven't yet learned to knit in the round. And... 2) I wanted to create something with this particular yarn which is really pretty, but which has not sold very much in the LYS where I work. I know that sometimes people need to see a yarn worked up before they realize they'd really like to knit with it! 1/10/13 Updated pattern to include yarn amounts.
