Corpus Collosum Arm Warmers

Last March, when Matthew went into the hospital to have his corpus collosum completely severed, I started making these arm warmers, thinking I'd have lots of hospital time, and apparently totally forgetting that I had a child. For a while I had one done, and contented myself that there's only one corpus collosum too, until I realized that Matthew now has two (more or less...kind of). So I finished the other. They look just like corpus collosums, don't they?

In a totally surprising turn of events, I don't look nearly as cool wearing these as the woman who inspired them. But they are warm, and it's all stash wool, so that's an accomplishment by itself. And I used the magic loop knitting Sarah had mentioned, which was fun, almost making up for the k2, p2 ribbing.

I'm going to have to beg a "magic loop" lesson one of these days. These are pretty awesome-looking. Be proud!

I love arm warmers. They make it so much easier to wear short sleeved shirts when I really should be wearing a sweater. They basically doubled my wardrobe. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

You are underestimating your coolness while wearing them. Nice use of a stash!
