2026: LEG WARMERS

 Leg warmers i desperately needed. Ordered yarn on amazon. Red Heart 3 cakes in a batch. Not quality but at least it is acrylic. Wound into 3 separate balls. it tangles like crazy, so annoying. Started them on March 23. cast on 61 stitches on #10 needles so I could join them easily then switch to 2 # 8 needles for the rest of the project.

2026: projects using left over yarn

 2026 knitting projects

limited to using up left over yarns. Hands not as nimble as years before. and limited daylight does not help.

so a variety of iCords, mug squares and squares for walker handles. Pom poms. etc

squares for walker I use when I shower are vital. Those handlebars are slippery if wet or soap is involved.

I am sure I did not "discover this stitch but I use it as a design I came up with for variety, stretch and ribbing. Would make a great sweater but I cannot focus enough for a sweater project.

cast on 25 stitches on #8 circular needle.

slip first stitch, knit 2, purl one, knit 3, purl one to end. repeat that row.

next 2 rows slip one knit all to end

cast off using long cast off so it is a frilly edge.

favorite mauvy purple yarn and  varigated  purple and blues yarn. both woolish.
