Head and shoulders...wrists and arms?

My list of orders is slowly dwindling as I finish pieces.  A couple of my latest pieces are two sets of wrist and arm warmers ordered by my sister. The first one is Garter Cable Wristlets done in Classic Elite Fresco, an absolutely fabulous dk weight yarn.  It is a lovely pattern, but has a ridiculous amount of cables! Unfortunately the camera disliked the black so the detail is difficult to see.

The second set was Rise & Shine Arm Warmers done in Cascade 220, Charcoal Grey. This is obviously a much simpler pattern, but seaming was still awful.
