New Sheep(ish) Pattern: Webbed Legwarmers!

Shown in colors: Black(ish), White(ish) & Pumpkin(ish)


Alright, it’s the middle of September, so I can’t wait any longer to start posting Halloween projects. Oh, how I *heart* this season! Over the coming weeks I’ll be posting a several spooky projects — both new and from the archives — so, get ready! First up though, is my latest, littles design: Webbed leg warmers. Simple, black & white, slip stitch color work creates a webbed background for an embroidered spider to lurk on. Make these for your own scary, sweetie and they’ll be as cozy as they are creepy while wearing them! Enjoy! xx, Vickie

    Aw! What a great pattern! I am so glad I’m back in the U.S. and that the Michael’s near me carries both your line and Crafty Chica’s! I really love Sheep(ish) and all the colors. And that is a lovely picture of Clover, by the way. 🙂
