Crochet Fingerless Gloves

Well, for my friend Melanie's birthday in August, I told her she could pick out what she wanted to have crocheted for her, and pick the colors.  She went with fingerless gloves with dark and light grey, with aqua.  Here is the result!
 I designed these myself, and had a lot of fun with them.  I had no idea if they would turn out, but I was VERY pleased with the result.  
 I was really unsure about the seam up the middle as part of the creative design choice, which could be worn on top or on bottom, but I think it's really cute.  
 Having the differing colors on the top and bottom was also a bit of a risk, but Melanie really liked that I did it that way, so all is well.  

The lady herself!  She does really love them, and I am so pleased.  I like this customized birthday gift idea, and will have to use it in the future. :)
