I very much like the idea of this, as I don't care for DPNs and have not got the hang of magic loop yet and how to translate glove into that. But I am having a problem visualizing how these come out before they are seemed up. If you happen to have a picture of one before you seam it I would love to see it. I think that might be helpful for me and hopefully others. Thank you for the pattern. (kimmypooh on ravelry)

Yes, they are knit with two regular needles. The seam is along the outside edge of the gloves (the inside edge being the thumb side). You're welcome.

This looks like a great pattern, but please explain what "pm" and "sm" mean? Thanks!

pm means place marker
sm means slip marker
If you have any trouble with any of my patterns just let me know.
