\nCrazy Groove Legwarmers<\/b>
\nYarn:<\/b> 1\/2 ball Schachenmayr nomotta Regia Stretch Crazy Color, Colorway “Crazy Groove” 119.<\/a>
\nNeedles:<\/b> Size 2 needles for body, size 1 for ribbing.
\nGauge:<\/b> 7.5 sts per inch.
\nComments:<\/b> 40 st caston over a size 3 needle for looseness, approx 1 inch of ribbing on size 1 needles, switching to size 2’s for the body. These were made to fit little legs 6.5″ around to a length of 9.5″. I realized this morning that someone had sent me a mailing tube 6.75 inches around, which was handy for checking size.

\nThey match! It’s a minor miracle! Both came from one ball. I got lucky that the color repeat started over at that point without me having to cut a lot of yarn out.<\/p>\n

This yarn was a little scratchy off the ball, but after a wash and machine dry it softened up some. It’s a stretch yarn, so I wasn’t expecting gauge to grow, and thankfully it didn’t! I don’t want the recipient to have to follow elaborate care instructions, so it’s great that it stood up to the machine so well. The fiber content is 70% superwash wool, 23% nylon, 7% polyester so it ought to stand up to a lot of punishment.<\/p>\n

If you’re on Ravelry, the Ravelry project page is here<\/a> although there’s not really any info there that isn’t already in this post.<\/p>\n

I owe my friend two more sets of legwarmers in different colors, but this is a start. I feel better having gotten something out this year, at least!
