In my (what seems like) neverending search for the perfect legwarmer pattern and yarn, I believe I've forced myself into a knitting brick wall. Knitting legwarmers is surely worse than the curse of knitting socks (when you're DONE with one, you still have to do another!). If you're not a knitter, you don't get this. So...rather than knit them, I'll just document my failed attempts in this legwarmer search.
Attempt #1: Pattern from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. Can't even remember what yarn I used--that's how much it excites me. I think it was a merino blend something or other. But both the color and the feel just aren't doin it for me.
Attempt #2: Pattern from The Knitting Garden . But it totally just didn't work with the yarn I got. It looks HUGE on my leg. Like, crazy huge.
Attempt #3: Again, the pattern from Last Minute Knitted Gifts, and knit with the recommended yarn (ah, what an idea!), which is Rowan Kidsilk and Cascade 220. I love the colors, I love the feel, and I love using circular needles on something so small. But alas, I think I'm just plain burnt out on legwarmers now. I've been working on these for over a month! And this is how far I've got. I think it's time to let go.......
