VIVE MARIA–The story continues……

SANEH VIVE MARIAS 2


*doeshappydance*


I have been soo excited about these pretties for a long while now!  My beautiful Vive Maria Legwarmers have been in the making since March this year, when I had a thought in mind, then came the whole process of designing and knitting them up.


The first pair finally came to fruition in August, and since then, I’ve been revising the pattern, till I finally arrived at the right sizings etc. I’ve knitted a fair few pairs now, so I guess you could say that I could knit them with my eyes closed – but then again, I’d better not! Winking smile


Modelling them for me here is a beautiful lady from Sweden, who has a wonderful blog called ‘Early Morning Prose’,  which is worth dropping by for a look-see, and you can find it here……

VIVE MARIA LEGWARMERS CHALK1


And here they are! Such pretty detailing, with a crocheted ankle edge and ties up the back, finished off with pretty bows at the side of the leg, but what I really think is sweet is…


VIVE MARIA LEGWARMERS CHALK5


What I call the crocheted ‘garter’ edge at the top of the leg – flirty and cute indeed!


VIVE MARIA LEGWARMERS CHALK3


Back and front detail – and there’s lots of it!

There’s a lot of hard work goes into these, but they truly are a labour of love for me to make!


Hope you like them?! Smile

  1. This are gorgeous! I wish my legs were nice enough to warrant drawing attention to them with those hehe

    The hand warmers below however are something I might consider :D Very envious of your knitting skills, sadly mine are lacking...

  3. I'm so interested on those in dark grey, but how is your sizing? Saneh's legs are smaller than mine. Do you make these in different sizes?
    These legwarmers are just so cute and handy with dresses at a cold winter day.

  5. Hi Tarleena!

    I've had to standardise the pattern now, as I had too many revisions going on, so like most companies who make legwarmers, I've had to go with a 'one size fits all'policy. However, with this pair, they were done when I was making revisions to the pattern, so they came out a little bigger than Sanehs, and the dimensions on these are:

    Length - 57com

    Top of leg width - 46cm comfortably (without elastic)

    If they required elastication for you, I can do this, but so far, not every customer has wanted it - now you see why I just can't do a revision on these every time I make them - for one thing, it gets mighty confusing! LOL

    Hope this helps? If you want any more information, please contact me on my email address here, which is......

    Many Thanks for your enquiry!

  6. Oh my dear Saneh, I have to say a big 'Tack sa mycket' for you being my model, you look fabulous in them!

    And seriously, you would look stunning in whatever colour you decide to go for next - purple or raspberry will look beautiful on you!

    Have a lovely day - will reply to your email in a while!
