arm warmers

These are arm warmers that I made for myself, knitted from cotton crochet thread. They're light, nonscratchy, and smooth. I saw a girl in Kensington Market that was my inspiration; but she had knitted hers out of a chunky multicoloured wool and I thought I would prefer thin ones with a pattern. It took a while to come up with a pattern that I liked, but I came up with one that not only looks good, but is also a math joke. (I'm knitting a scarf with the same pattern so it should be more obvious then.)

They keep my arms warm during all those hours in front of a computer so I don't have to wear a sweater.

"Arm warmers? Aren't those just called 'sleeves'?"
