Arm/Wrist Warmer Fun

I've gotten back to my roots - knitting wrist/arm warmers :)  I went through this phase early in my pattern knitting career making up patterns for wrist warmers.  But of course I made up the pattern as I went, and I didn't write it down (well there are notes, but it's all short-handed jibberish with dots, squiggly lines and numbers - a language I think I could only understand).

My sis and her husband ventured downtown one afternoon and happened to stroll into this yarn store.  Now, my sister does not knit (she sews... we make a pretty good crafting mega team!), but she strolled in because she wanted to get me a business card just in case I wanted to go some time.  While she was there she saw these arm warmers that looked pretty cool - it was a long cable knit arm warmer with a cable pattern.  What was so interesting about these arm warmers was the cable wrapped around the thumb hole.  She asked me if I could knit something similar for her.  I consulted my cable knitting bible (LoL) and this is what I came up with:

 
I think they turned out pretty well :)  I used Martha Stewart 100% merino wool to make her wrist warmers.  I love knitting with merino - the structure of wool but super soft.  My sis loved the arm warmers - yay! :D
