Mittens in the Middle of Summer?

I know.  It seems a bit odd.  Temperatures are soaring.  Heat waves are crossing the nation.  The midwest is suffering a drought (odd, right, after last year's flooding Missouri River??)  And what do I knit?  Fingerless Mitts.  That's right.  Wool mittens in the blistering heat.

This is my favorite pattern for fingerless mitts

Pattern:  Susie Rogers Reading Mitts
Needle:  US Size 5
Yarn:  I lost the label - I can't remember!

I really enjoy this pattern and know these will be greatly appreciated when the cold weather returns.  While I'm not trying to end summer so soon, it's always nice to have a quick and easy (not to mention, small) knitting project for these hot summer months.

On the original pattern in Ravelry it looks like fingering weight..is it?
