Web-Letter, Issue 169 – Waterlily Leg Warmers

The 80’s fashion Icon “the legwarmer” is back and better than ever. Legwarmers are a fun and easy way to accessorize an outfit. They are versatile, can be worn with leggings, over skinny jeans, or peeking out of your boots with a skirt. They are a wonderful way to show off your knitting skills, keep warm, and look fashionable all at the same time. This week Andi Clark has designed a great pair to get you started.

The Story:

Classic Elite occupies two floors in an old, refurbished mill building. It’s charming, but it can get really cold. You can hear, feel and see the wind blow during the cold season. I have shawls to throw on, but my legs get cold, especially when I wear a skirt. A pair of leg warmers is the perfect answer to chilly legs. Knit in Waterlily, one of our nicest yarns to knit with, they are a quick knit and are easily adaptable to legs both thick and thin. I’m a height challenged person, but if you’re not, just add more repeats of the cable pattern to suit your fancy. Keep your limbs warm this winter and maybe you can cut down on your heating bill!

The Yarn:


Waterlily
100% extra fine merino

Composed of 100% extrafine merino, Waterlily is wonderfully soft and knits up to a quick-yet-comfortable gauge—perfect for last minute holiday knitting! The twist in Waterlily gives the fabric spring, which makes stitches and textures pop. The yarn’s subtle color variations give it depth but do not distract from patterns.
