Description
Knitted in [i]Lionbrand Jelly Bean Stripe Magic Stripes[/i] yarn on size 5 (or 7?) Clover wooden double-pointed knitting needles (DPNs).I started out following a sock pattern in Stitch 'n Bitch's first book, but the first sock was SO HUGE, that I just transformed it into a legwarmer instead. I think that the sock-shaped stitch-savers actually stretch out my stitches more than usual. On my second legwarmer, I realized I didn't need the stitch-savers except on one, so I ditched 'em. The second legwarmer actually fits more like a sock.
No idea how long these took me.

It's not hard if you have those little needle point covers to start and use wooden needles. The needle point covers stop the yarn from falling off the ends and the wooden needles prevent the yarn from slipping off the needles. I wouldn't even recommend trying to knit with plastic or metal needles.

Shhhhh... I photoshopped my feet. They are ragged from my flipflops. I've gotten about 12 blisters so far this year from sandals.

...Yep. But it wasn't me. My ninja skillz wouldn't allow me to be so, uh, careless as to give away my position.
You can't see me! :3
