knitting my own garters?

**Wompet** · 14th January 09, 06:29 PM

My mother has knitted (crocheted?) a couple pair of garters for me - she basically knitted a row an inch an a half wide, then added another row on to that, and another, and etc. until they were thirty inches long.
Just two needles, nothing more.

I made a pair the way Wompet mentioned. Next time I make a pair, I might try making them the other direction on a circular needle.

They're for me if I want to wear them when I do Highland Games. Haven't had a chance to really try them out yet.

nice! My wife is currently doing it by Wompet's method. I think I may grow very old waiting.....very small needles takes a very long time. I need about 40" or so.
