Ahhh foot comfort!

I have been knitting a pair of legwarmers for three years now.  I have one done and one 3/4 of the way done but will they every be completely finished?  Who knows.  I wasn't sure I could follow through on a knitting project.  Although I love the idea of knitting my family sweaters and socks, there is something that had me doubting I could ever finish a project.  Then I got a knitting pattern for Christmas.  To knit then felt clogs.  After spending an arm and a leg obtaining some beautiful wool, I started.  I had some help from a friend (who is a fiber goddess), and was well on my way.  Then I missed a whole row of instruction.  I had to pull it appart and start again, but in the end it worked out and they are awesome!  I need to find some leather bottoms for them, but even as we speak I am sitting here with my toes warm and my fashion cool.  Well minus the sweatpants.

My photo quality isn't the best.  We haven't had any sunshine in this part of Kent for over a week so it was all done with artificial light, which is never good for bragging.

They seemed a bit big for my feet, which is a first
Oh the stitches I learned, oh the tensions I didn't. Thank god they were to be felted.
