Done with the left. Halfway through the right. The yarn substitution is good. I am seeing that having a set of size 10 double pointed needles might be good in the future, since I tend to knit looser than gauge. Because I am using a dark and a medium blue, you cannot really see the cabling in the photo. It is there, it looks nice. The nice feature of this particular set of gloves is the long fingertip portion — you can fold it down for more exposure, or unfold it to keep your fingertips covered.
