Socks for the fundamentally lazy.

Do these socks have feet?  Of course they do not.  There is a reason for that.  They are not socks.  Years ago, I asked a sales person at a yarn store about where to start, sockwise, and she suggested that I would need a period of peace and quiet to myself to do things like "turn heels."  Oh, ok.  Pardon me while I buy sock yarn but do not knit socks with it.  This is a leg warmer "pattern" from Oat Couture, knitted in String Theory yarn from Blue Hill, Maine.  I say "pattern" because, unlike, say, socks, all these things require is memorizing a four-line repeat and sticking some ribbing on each end.  No shaping, no sizing -- they are like sleeves in my fantasy world where sleeves do not require me me to count rows and increases and then seam them on to something afterwards.  Are green leg warmers a little witchy with a black outfit?  Did my oldest jaw-drop and ask, "wait, did you wear those to work today?"  Sure.  Guess what?  They were quick, they are finished, they are warm, and I almost never wear pants.  Get used to them.
