Snug and Warm

Quickie post to show off me new legwarmers.
I used the pattern from Joelle's, Last Minute Knitted Gifts, (I'll add links later).
So the first pose is imitating the one from the book:

The idea was to make one pair of legwarmers to wear so just the tops peep out from over the edge of my boots - doing it this way I get a Teal pair and a Red pair, I doubt I'll be wearing them like this:


The Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk was lovely to knit with - I even had enough left over for some little matching wristlets!.
I love the Teal colour, but the Red is just not RED enough for me.

The leg warmers and wristlets look great Heather. Very pretty!

Those are ace, I really like both colours. And i like the opposite stripe patterns on each legwarmer!

It's red enough for me -- in fact a perfect shade in my books. But then again I was never quite as ORANGE as you!

I cannot believe how fast you are!!!!!!!!!! They're wonderful, I actually like the idea of mismatched "sox" peering out of your boots.
