Dear readers,
My takeout for two leg warmers almost became an UFO (unfinished object). Fun and easy -- but knitting very long tubes on very small DPNs (double pointed needles) has ruined me. I'm glad they are finished. Now, I am merely finishing some yoga socks (more). . and I'm ready for my big sweater project, Funky Grandpa Sweater.
The original picture from the knitting book, Joy of Socks, below:
These were fairly cost efficient as I used Berroco Ultra Alpaca Light wool to knit. Unfortunately, we are in the middle of a heat wave, with an accompanying drought, and random fires, so it may be awhile for me to finally wear them.
I chose this pattern for my pilates and barre warmups. And, these leg warmers are indeed WARM! My link to the project page in Ravelry is HERE - TAKEOUT FOR TWO PROJECT.The model had very very long legs apparently -- I'm not that short either (especially my legs - a 31" inseam and I'm 5'6.5"). I could have made them longer, but I might have lost my mind. I'm just lucky to finish them. I suffered extreme knitting fatigue during this marathon.
Dear readers, I hope your weather is a bit better than we are having here -- we have no winter so far this year!
XOXO,
P.
P.S. I have some jury duty coming up in two weeks, I hope to get some quality knitting in during that time.

They are fabulous - love your pics! I'm missing my knitting now that I'm "eat up" with beading; I actually considered starting another project this weekend, but I've got to finish this dress! And we got your winter - lows in 20's lately...
Those are great! I have a pair of knee socks that I've been knitting on tiny DPNs for, well, quite a few years now. I'm about halfway done with the second one, and it's been probably over a year since I've touched it. I'm learning not to knit pairs of things!
super duper cute
pam,..
I love your leg warmers. I have only finished knee socks and they are very warm. One of these days I'm going to have to try leg warmers
Thank you -- but I have to warn they took quite a long time!
