Beginner's Leg Warmers (For Knitters)

After discovering my newest favorite hobby (knitting) over the last summer, I have fallen in love with the simple lace patterns and am looking forward to trying cabling next. I just wanted to leave you all with this awesomely simple pattern that I whipped up for myself the other day. It literally took me only two days to knit (or two end of the days movies) and I am a fairly slow knitter so I'm sure it whip up just as fast (if not faster) for you.

Beginner's Leg Warmers

I used a heavy weight yarn for this project (Vanna's Choice Heavyweight in Ivory)
Size 15 (US) knitting needles.

*Note- These are knitted from the base up, and are as a flat piece and then stitched together using the mattress stitch. Stitches are easier in the eyelet section if they are knitted more loose.

CO 35
Row 1: *k3, p2; repeat from * to end.
Row 2: *p3, k2; repeat from * to end.

Repeat rows 1&2 7 times. Should be a total of 16 rows so far.

On the RS, begin eyelet pattern
Row 17: k1, *yo, k2tog; repeat from * to end.
Row 18: Purl

Repeat rows 17&18 2 times.

And here's how.  First things first, I grabbed a rectangle of plywood I had from a previous project and cut it to roughly the size of what I wanted. Then I painted a background of what I wanted (inspired by Pinterest- an overly pixelated shot of Greenland. If I can find the owner of it I'll credit them.)  Once I was happy with how that turned out, I started on the framing. I measured out some trim wood (from same previous project) and painted them black. I also drilled a small hole in the center top of the board for easy and safe hanging.  My furry little helper made sure I didn't drip anywhere in his favorite area.  While those dried, I laid out where I wanted the thread spools to go and tapped in 2" nails just enough that they would stay but had most of the nail sticking out.  Ev...
