Finally a day off (thanks to dh!) after a crazy few weeks or month at work... So I have a few hours to dilly-dally away at the computer at home and post my latest projects.
Yes, we had snow in Texas!!
No, really!!!
So I was borrowing the leg warmers I had made for my daughter, since they apparently are not quite cool enough for her!
She modeled them for the blog, but has not worn them outside the house yet.
I have, though!
And they match the two hand muffs I made with left-over yarn stash:
They are really warm and have little pockets inside and outside to hold ipods, etc. You know, all the stuff you need while you are out and about.
It all started when I tried to make one of those snake draft thingies...
Those long whatshamacallits you put in front of the door or window to keep the cold drafts out:
I made one, and before I had a chance to stuff it, my daughter decided that it would make a really cute leg warmer. So I made her a pair of leg warmers (even if she is not wearing them in public).
It's fun to be creative with the color and yarn combinations of these little "left-over" projects. But since it requires being close to the stash box, they are not very "mobile" projects.
Which means that for my daily bus commute, I stick with socks for that. Here is my February pair:
I really love the colors of this Red Heart sock yarn: Heart and Sole with Aloe! It felt really nice knitting. Haven't worn them yet. But did I mention that I really like the colors? And the pattern. Can't wait to get more :).
I had a little attack this week, though, and ordered all kinds of yarn (and other knitting paraphernalia) from Knit Picks and from ebay! So, I better hold off for now. Less yarn buying and more knitting...
