Work-in-Progress Wednesday 2

I took the photo above thinking that it was as far as I was going to get on my project before posting this week.  But you know how it goes, and once I took this pic, I thought I might as well finish the first half and maybe even get started on the second...

I really didn't like how it was turning out though, so I tore out what I had done on the second one and started with a new idea.  According to the pattern, you work in rows and then slip stitch together when completed (right side), but I made the second one (left side) by working in the round while still working from different sides for each row so the look would be the same.

They look very different on the seam side, but you can't tell the difference on the other side.

These legwamers are part of Olivia's Halloween costume, so I needed her to try on my (not quite finished) new version.  It was just before bedtime, so the lighting is not great, but the legwarmer fit perfectly (and I had to beg her to take it back off).  After bedtime, I added the top ribbing (in green this time), wove all the ends in and whip-stitched both ribbed borders.  I love how it came out!  Now I just need to make a match for Liv's other leg before trick-or-treat.
