Another completed knitting project

I completed a cute pair of buttoned armwarmers back in October.  I got the yarn, Araucania Copihue, from Purl's Yarn Emporium.  It's made of 100% alpaca and is oh, so soft.

The pattern is one that I made up myself.  The glove part covering the hand and thumb gusset are knitted in seed stitch.  The sleeve is stockinette, and the cuff is seed stitch again.

The little button is a stoneware ceramic one I made myself.  I have some green ones that are similar in the etsy shop.  I do have some extra blue ones like these if anyone is interested, feel free to message me to set up a trade or listing on etsy or sale off etsy.

I do miss having access to a kiln to make more of these.
