Handspun Legwarmers
Yarn: my handspun Spunky Eclectic Fiber Club May 2008 selection
"Rosebud" Corriedale wool, 250 yards of 14 wpi/sport, plus some extra bit of another yarn, because I ran out of Rosebud.
15.5" tall, 11" around the top and 9" around the bottom. My calves are 15" around at the widest point and ankles are 8". These are fitted and stay up well, but aren't too tight, even with 4" negative ease at the widest point.
These are knit just like a sleeve. Cast on and rib a bit, and then start increasing 2 sts. per increase row with the increase rows spaced about an inch apart, until you get to the desired upper leg measurement. Work straight and do a bit more ribbing. These are knit at a firm gauge and stay up with absolutely no problem.
This is my third pair (second made for me) and I'll keep making them. They're comfy, super warm, and the colors make me happy.
