Another FO

This morning I woke up bright and early (read: well after the sun was up) and got to work on stitching up the side of my second legwarmer. This is the second pair of legwarmers I have made. The first is a gift, but these babies are allllll mine. I love them! They're not too heavy, knit with Red Heart's Symphony, and a bit of Geloto for accent and ties. They start at the base of the knee and end resting on the top of the foot.

I switched up the pattern a bit by starting with 40 stitches to create a wider leg than the pattern called for. I wanted them to not only look full and warm, but also prevent my pant legs from bunching up. I hate that. Also, I took the bottom turning row (purled row on the knit side)and did a *yo, k2tog* repeat instead to create some eyelets. After the top and side seams were finished, I weaved some blue gelato through the eyelets and chain stitched some more to pull through the top seam.

They're cute, too.

Next in line is going to be a scarf. I know, I know. Last week I was complaining about scarves. I made a scarf for one of my brothers. It is all black and all boring, but then it's for a boy who's personal saying might as well be function over form. Basic black, I suppose would be the name of the scarf, those I think I'd rather call it "That wretched thing that should have taken me two hours to complete, but really took two weeks, because I didn't want to work on something that completely boring." I might be wrong, but the title might be a little long to type into Rav.

Anyway, I want to knit a lace scarf from Weekend Knitting. The scarves in the picture are done in a green, purple, and blue. I'm going to substitute the yarn with one that is thinner. I still have one hank of blue silky wool left. Since, I got my birthday check from my grandpa today, I skipped over to the LYS and picked up a purple hank of silky wool. The colors are gorgeous together, plus I'll have a cute scarf to wear with my lace skirt!
