Mardi Gras 2010 was the coldest Mardi Gras in recent memory and and we all froze our butts off. By the end of the parade, I was <span style="font-style: italic;">really</span> wishing I had some sort of warmth, <span style="font-weight: bold;">any</span> kind of warmth, for my hands, that still allowed me to catch beads (because if you can't catch beads at Mardi Gras, then why bother?), and so the Uptown Arm Warmers were born. The name comes from the route the Rex parade takes through New Orleans.<br /><br />This pattern is available for $5.00. It is worked with a G hook in a DK weight yarn.<br /><br />Once the sale is complete, the pattern will be e-mailed in PDF form to the e-mail address you provide during the completion of your sale.
