Friday Freebies For Feet
If you're new to knitting in the round and a little uncertain about footwear, here's a great project from Lion Brand, their Sausalito Stirrup Socks . My sister knit them and sent me these pics. She knit the shorter version but the pattern includes a pair that go right to your knees. They're also a great way to use up some of your early (ie: lumpy/chunky) handspun!
The sweet little lamb is named Lucky. He's an orphan they're bottle feeding.

OK, cowboy boots aren't exactly my thing and they don't do much to show off this pattern but these Waterlily Leg Warmers from Classic Elite Yarns are actually really nice! They're a great way to learn about knitting in the round and a great introduction to cables too! *Hint: They also knit up pretty quickly if you need one more knitted gift and you know you don't have time for a pair of socks! I figure a couple good B&W holiday movies and you'll be well on your way! I also recommend handspun and/or superwash yarn, especially if they're a gift! Personally, I prefer leg warmers to stirrup socks because I just can't stand having anything under my bare feet!
And for "Totally Funky" you just can't beat these Elf Slippers from Caron Naturally. I mean nothing says Holiday Spirit like curled up toes and wacky color patterns! They actually worked up TWO patterns: Elf Slippers Knit and Elf Slippers Crochet (pictured). HUGE kudos to Caron for that! May I suggest you pair them up with the Elf Hat pattern a few Friday Freebies back? So Ho ho ho enjoy! Cheers!
