Notes: These were for ‘s little girl. She received them today, so it’s safe to post about them now. asked a while back for legwarmers in a variety of colors, and I’m doing them as I find time in the knitting schedule. These were fun because I used my box of 1/2 inch pipe, also known as the yarn-o-matic, to dye the yarn specifically in these colors to make this stripe repeat for this pattern.

This was my second stab at this yarn. The first is the ball at left, which was too fluorescent for what I was looking for, and the second was the ball on the right. Also, the stripe repeats were too long as seen in this post. The second take turned out just as I hoped. So can say that not only are there no legwarmers like these in the world, there’s not even any yarn like it in the world. That’s only fitting, because is one of a kind!

These legwarmers are a fun little project and I always enjoy making them.
