Leggings


Leggings

My sister put in a request for some leggings in mid winter! Now it is spring, and the weather is getting warmer... maybe there will still be a few cooler days/evenings in Utah where she will be able to enjoy them.

I completed one legging in stockingknit stitch and when I tried it on it was WAY too big! I had knitted a golf club cover a year ago using this spiral rib pattern and thought it may be fun for these. So I knitted away, and really liked the results. It was much more snug than my first attempt, and quite cozy. Then all there was left to do was to knit the second to match. Not a difficult pattern, but the first one that I have designed myself! After wearing these for a bit to take some pictures I really started to warm up to them. Maybe I will have to knit a pair for myself, despite my husband's claims that they are "dorky."
