Gush, Gush, Gush...



Thank you for the leg warmer love..

But, if I was to come
completely clean here, I couldn't express how easy leg warmers are to make. They go pretty fast, and if you get the right yarn?

Forget it...

You'll never want to take them off.

Then again,
it's only supposed to get up to 44 degrees today, so that might actually be a good idea. I am thinking about wearing my Ugg boots to work already...and truly? I'm wondering if the leg warmers will fit underneath the Uggs, and then if that mess will all fit underneath my pants as well?

gush gush gush...

I would also like you to know that I am a quarter of the way through the next pair I am making...and worked on them diligently at Oh Knit last night with my mom and Rozz (Rozz is working on a flag for her birthday, and Mom is working on a pair of leg warmers for Rozz)

The stripes on the new one's are
a little bolder with no other pattern, and I adore the colors on these as well (although, I try not to buy yarn I hate) I am making them a little bigger around, because I thought the pattern the yarn made was too stretched out when I put the first ones I made on, which is kind of weird because I have really skinny calves (For instance: Someone once asked me "...are those your legs or are you riding on a chicken?") Plus? I am liking to wear them over leggings so they don't fall down all day (I was wearing them over some skull and cross bone patterned ones yesterday as a matter of fact...I'm so groovy...rolling my eyes at me...) and it's really just another extra comfortable layer under skirts to keep me warm...

Oh my - I LOVE leg warmers!!! And the one pair I adore is always sold out on this one website. If I had any sort of talent to make them it would be insane. I'm way jealous.

Dreamy! And you exceed the groovy factor by far. I hope to cast on my own legwarmers b4 the end of the month! You are my inspiration.
