Two fish.
More green than blue fish.
The yarn is from curiousyarns, back when they sold sockyarn in 70g skiens (with a 30g contrast colour for toes and heels).
It's been sitting in my stash for about six months, teasing me with how perfect it'd be as a pair of pomatomi. Three problems with this: it's 100% wool; I don't really need another pair of socks; I didn't think the yardage was quite enough.
I can't believe it took me this long to work out the solution - legwarmers. Well more anklets than full legwarmers, but I wanted something neater than my big baggy sparkly pair. I just worked the cuff chart for the pomatomus pattern an extra repeat and finished with a sewn bind off. They fit neatly over a pair of standard socks, or even bare feet on days when I'm wearing grown up shoes. Perfect.

Pretty yarn and I like the idea of Pomatomus legwarmers. Nice work!
wow that yarn is lovely - has the colorway been discontinued too?
What a perfect way of having some of the benefit of knitted socks without the bulk! I'm sure they're very smart for work.
Wowzers.
This only fuels my need for a pair of Pots.
Could you come over anf finish my Christmas knitting so I can get started?
Super cute!
Now we need a shot of these in action, with cute shoes. Such a great idea, making them legwarmers!
Awesome! Those are so fab. I would love to see them on, with a great pair of shoes. :)
