Notes

dk yarn 3.5mm needles, co 64, 2x2 rib. swapped to 4mm needles, stripes (4rows) in 3x1 rib.

December 2011
I picked up these leg warmers to finish again this week.
The second one was started about 20rows in. So I finished it. The problem? Proof that knitting tension changes over time. The same yarn, pattern and exactly the same needles and the second one is nearly an inch narrower and 2inches shorter!
Will have to knit it again! Boohoo!

Got these finished Jan 2015, I just finished the second one with extra rows, it is slightly narrower, but that suits my wonky legs just fine.
Wish I’d finished these ages ago they are lovely and warm and comfy :)
