Some medical knitting

I finished one of my long armwarmers with the Fleece Artist sock yarn in the blue colorway. It covers up my elbow, an essential because I have been feeling chilled. It feels so warm and snug, and I can pull it over sweater sleeves for extra warmth. It was basically a tube with some decreases starting halfway past the forearm. I did something new for the thumbhole. I did not go crazy and make a thumb "tube," but I knit up to the first thumb joint, cast off 12 stitches, and then the next round, cast on 4 stitches. So the base of the thumb is much more covered than in past incarnations of my wrist warmers where I basically made a vertical button hole for the thumb.

It's a plummy purple color.

I cut open the Cookie Monster sweater asymmetrically down the front. If I were to put a button at the collar and wear it right now, the thing would drape open like a cape but with sleeveless arm holes. I think I will add panels/extensions to the front edges so that my torso is fully covered. It may make the thing more tent like, but we'll see.
