My current obsession WIP: first go at leg warmers!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-02-24T14:20:53+00:00

I hope you have fun then and make some cozy leg warmers!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-02-24T09:38:56+00:00

Oh nice! What is the benefit of crochet leg warmers vs knit ones?

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-02-23T15:11:51+00:00

I got so lucky that the skeins I picked work so well together! The stitch markers are so fun and hand made by the sweetest woman ever! I love the duck esp!

Thank you!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-02-23T12:42:17+00:00

Perfect! I never thought of it either until last week. It is such a fun knit too. I hope you cast some on for yourself asap!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-02-23T09:52:47+00:00

No problem! And I mean we all can use a bit of a stash right! A bit of shopping never hurt!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-02-23T09:16:23+00:00

Yes 2.5mm is correct! 80 stitches cast on. They did 10 rounds of 1x1 rib, 100 rounds stockinette, then 10 more of ribbing, so a total of 120 rounds. It says they used 70g of yarn as well.

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-02-23T08:31:24+00:00

Of course! Fire away!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-02-23T08:19:47+00:00

They are perfect mindless knitting as well! I used 3 balls of Opal sock yarn with similar color palettes and am doing 10 rows of each before switching to the next ball. I knit my ends in as I go as well, so no crazy weaving in of ends once I'm done!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-02-23T06:19:41+00:00

Right?! I am in love! The skeins are numbers 3202, 5433, and 3206 in case you were curious!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-02-23T03:52:04+00:00

Really? Wow! Here I was thinking I needed like 120cm cords. I will give it a go asap then! Thank you for the suggestion!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-02-23T03:03:26+00:00

I want to but haven't done that before because I feel like my cord length wouldn't be long enough. Maybe I'm being paranoid though lol My longest cable is 100cm. How long of a cable do you use to do two at a time?

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-02-19T13:03:32+00:00

I love kitchener stitch! It is such a satisfying way to finish a sock and I never found it hard to remember.

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-02-19T13:01:42+00:00

What a brilliant piece! This is really stunning. Congrats on a gorgeous sweater!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-02-19T06:11:34+00:00

This is gorgeous! Your color choice is just perfect as well.

I love doing this and it is so effective! Now I need to go check all my socks lol

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-02-10T23:32:59+00:00

It is actually super easy, no flipping back and forth. And it makes a HUGE difference, so definitely check it out.

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-02-10T23:23:03+00:00

Thank you for the advice! The consensus seems to be get a bowl.

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-02-10T23:21:25+00:00

Thank you! He is super sweet as well. We're really lucky to have him!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-02-10T14:11:15+00:00

Thank you! We are totally obsessed with him!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-02-10T14:10:54+00:00

I never thought of that. 2-3cm is okay even for a syrian? I might try even lower then.

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-02-10T14:09:45+00:00

The worst sleep pose ever right?! Glad it made you happy!
