So what is the purpose this contest? Are those ones in the front, with those distinctive mustaches, leading, or being chased? Are they destined for glory, or infamy? And most important, he/she/it muses, would one of these knitted legwarmers look good on my psuedopod?

No self-respecting teenager would have been seen without them in the early 1980s. Of course, we wore them OVER our pants. With tunics. Yes, we were fashionistas for sure. Wanna see my Michael Jackson glove? You’re probably not old enough to remember the last time legwarmers were in fashion.

I've been thinking of something similar to wear with boots and a skirt, to avoid bulky feet but have the benefits of toasty legs. I love these.

I've been considering a pants ban myself after reading an article in Craft magazine about how pants never flatter hips, ever, and after reading that Debbie Stoller never wears pants. I feel like skirts are more me and as an added bonus easier to make but with the cold Ottawa winters I'm a little undecided.
