Started Leg Warmers

I was going to knit some socks for Catherine for Christmas. Then the plan was wrist warmers. Now I've decided on leg warmers. She has started taking dance lessons and spotted leg warmers in the Knit Picks catalog. The pattern is from One Skein by Leigh Radford. The top is an easy lace pattern. I had difficulty getting it started because the pattern starts with a YO. I'm knitting using the magic loop method and the YOs kept falling off between the 2 needles. Then I had the brilliant idea to start with the LAST stitch of the pattern repeat, a k stitch. Problem solved. I had one leg warmer finished in a day. Now I just need the time to finish the second.

The Gathered Green Pullover is finished!

Oh, this turned out much better than I could have hoped! I'm so excited. The sweater looks great and it even fits me! I was worried that the yarn would relax too much during blocking. I needn't have worried. Click on the image to get a good view of the cable pattern. It turned out quite nicely.
Now I have to finish up the Christmas knitting. I don't have much to go!
