I was curious about having some leg warmers for added warmth this coming winter season, so I knit up a pair of Jane Richmond’s Leg Warmers. One could easily whip up a pair of these in a day or two, depending on their spare time. While I don’t “love” them, I’m sure I’ll use them with boots, or even hidden under some wider leg jeans!
September 24th marks the beginning of a knit along for Aidez, the gorgeous cardigan designed by Cirilia Rose, which resides at the top of my queue on Ravelry. A big thanks to Kelly at CelticCaston.com for initiating this much awaited project!
I had originally purchased a lovely green shade of Cascade Eco +, but it was bought on a whim and didn’t grab my heart as it should. Thankfully I found the perfect colour from a fellow knitter on Ravelry who had it up for sale. It’s more of a light brown stone colour, perfect to go with anything.
Stayed tuned at Kelly’s blog for our progress. I hope to start some swatching on Saturday. Let the winding begin!
This hat is so vintagey, and was a pleasure to knit. It’s knit flat and then seamed. I was too lazy to figure out how to knit it in the round, though I know others have done so on Ravelry.
Pattern: Insou
Yarn: Berroco Vintage, Breezeway 5194
Needles: US 9 / 5.5 mm
It was my first time using Berroco Vintage. It’s so soft! If I were to make this hat again (and I definitely might do just that), I’d probably go down a needle size since the hat grew quite a bit with wear.
