Woohoo! Move over Jamie Lee and Jane Fonda! Legwarmers are back baby!!!
Actually they never went away. Those of us that took ballet or jazz in childhood and now work our winters in cold offices or take long winter drives in old cars without floor heating definitely appreciate the wearing of double socks and a good set of leg warmers.
My three girls (aged between 28 and 10 years) all know the benefits of a warm squishy set of warmers for the legs. I wear a pair under my desk in through the cold Riverina winter (no snow but often minus Celsius between May and August).
Miss 10 suggested I add some to the online shop. I was kinda skeptical but it seems that I'm preaching to the choir, so if you want a pair check out the store or let me know and we'll get you sorted.
If you are a knitter, or a crocheter, I can't share the pattern I use with you because of copyright laws in Australia but I can tell you they are essentially just a tube. You just have to fiddle a bit with gauge to make sure they'll fit your legs.
As they say in all those 1980s cooking shows …."here's a pair I prepared earlier..."
Seriously, go for it. If it doesn't work you can just unravel it and knit something else.
Have a great weekend everyone,
Megs.
