It’s March, daylight is shrinking, and the nights are a little nippier. That said, it’s not quite cold enough for leg warmers, but my mum is a planner. She is planning to travel to some cooler climes in the next 12 months and requested a pair of these months back.

Lucky she did because it took me almost 5 months to knit these up. Technically it was very easy (just a long tub), but 4 ply sock yarn is a bugger to knit with.

Hopefully these will do her well on her travels to the Antarctic and Arctic Circles.
