St. Pat's Cabled Leg Warmers

I found an ugly scarf at a thrift store. It was green, the yarn was pretty obviously someone's early knitting project made from nice, Lion Brand Thick and Quick. It was pretty long, and the end was not woven in well, so it was going to be easy to frog. Thus begins my obsession with finding ugly scarves at thrift stores to frog for yarn-- I've found 3 more since. Thus also begins the origin of these leg warmers:

St. Pat's Cabled Leg Warmers

Materials:

• Approx. 1 1/2 balls of Lion Brand Thick and Quick (this is an estimate, since it was recycled yarn)
• size 13 DPNs
• Darning needle for weaving in ends

Notes:

*C2BP: Slip 2 stitches onto a Cable needle and hold to the back. Purl 2 stitches, then purl the two stitches on the cable needle.

*Piece is knit inside out because I hate purling and there is a lot of it, so I cheated so I could knit more than purl. :)

Cast on 28 stitches and join for knitting in the round.
