Alright, so this is the right warmer. I read the chart right to left and went back to the thumb portion as I had mentioned, just guessed there! Let me know what you think.

*lol* the HUS armwarmers....i went through all kinds of craziness with those, before finally deciding/having the "AHA!" moment/realizing that the yarn i was working with was better classified as a light worsted.

Yours look good though, Carrie--i really think that ultimately, Noro is probably the best yarn for these, since that is what was used when they were originally designed. I just don't have any Noro, so i haven't done them that way. Noro is known, amongst other things, for the irregularities in thickness, so that's normal.

A LOT of people have been confused by the chart for the armwarmers; you're not alone! But yes--when doing the right, read right to left, and when doing the left, read left from right. However, in order for the left to turn out correctly, you need to remember to work the mirror image of the cable crossings in the pattern. When you see \ \- work -/ / and vice versa. Same goes for the funky -\ \- and -/ /-  (those horizontal - should be diagonals, but i can't do that too well here).  The only ones you don't have to mirror image, or work the opposite, are the knit, purl, m, -/\- and the >|< and >< stitches.

Otherwise your cables will cross in the wrong direction. That's the problem a lot of people run into, and somethign the book isn't very clear on--and is the reason so many people resort to making a mirror image copy of the pattern, and then work that the same way they worked the first--right to left.
