Sleeves (aka arm warmers)

not the original pair but the same size

A little history on why I started making sleeves. I was being a nanny to a little guy and Mother's Day came round. While the little guy's mom was at work we made her a pair of short sleeves as a gift. Inspired by a shirt I had with thumb holes. I decided that a sleeve you could wear under a long sleeve shirt might be nice, to keep his mom's hands warm. She liked them and so I made cuffs (no thumb holes) as well as three longer lengths of sleeves and took them off to Twigg & Hottie. They liked them so I took them down to Ainsworth as well. That was more than four years ago now. I can not tell you how many pairs I have made. I can tell you no two pair are quite the same.
