new knit gear for a hippie! *pattern added for armwarmers*

[spirals420]

so my little hippie friend has been bugging me for some knit legwarmers... so as i was feeling sad and uninspired i was searching around craftster as usual... and i came across the secret garden tam. i knew she would love it so of course i had to get to a yarn store asap. and while i was there i found some great yarn that inspired me to start her legwarmers.... and then, i stil had yarn leftover so i knit her some armwarmers...and i even have a little bit left so i think i will make her a headband of some sorts... so onto the pics!
thats the link to the secret garden tam

both armwarmers
a closer look at the front of the armwarmer

The legwarmers.. they are actually pretty bell shaped.

The tam is knit from patons shetland chunky, 2 balls of it. and then i used Patons Rumor for the pom pom, the leg warmers and the arm warmers...

I told her she didnt have to wear everything together, that its all just knit out of the same yarn because thats just how it happened... but, shes crazy and says she'll wear it all with pride hahahahaha
thanks for looking!

Wow! Wearing it all together might be a little odd!  Still, these are so very cool!

Did you use a pattern for the leg and arm warmers? I think I need a matching set, too! Yours are too cute and earthy in the color you chose. Great job!

so.... if you are interested i would be glad to post them for you!
