Uber-cozy Alpaca legwarmers, my favorite winter weather accessory.
Easy, fun and quick to knit these fingerless gloves feature a long fairisle cuff with garter stitch edges. The simple peasant thumb makes them interchangeable left and right. Requires approximately 140 yards Worsted Weight wool in MC and 25 yards CC. Gauge: 20 st by 27 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
The famous Halloween costume of 2010, knit more or less on the fly with Gedifra's "Techno Hair Oro" (really guys?) and a smidge of Classic Elite's La Gran Mohair. I designed and knit this project on my Quaker meeting's yearly retreat. The ears are knit flat and then attached to a headband. They have wire holding them up in the proper shape. The tail was knit in the round from the top down. I stuffed it with a bit of pillow stuffing to give it some body, but the yarn itself was so dense that I didnt use much. Just a wee bit to make the tail nice and round on the end.
