To finish:

With right sides together, sew along long sides of glove
Weave in all ends

Notes:

It is best to use a fairly stretchy method of casting-on and off. A neater edge to the piece is formed if you sl the first st of every row p-wise instead of knitting/purling it, but do not do this for the thumb-hole.
