I’ve updated the pattern for Jax to include instructions for a full-length leg warmer pattern as well as the boot topper version – I was enlightened to the need for this by someone who listed it as a project on Ravelry, and let’s just say…

All done! And what a task it was. Here is Stash Part 1… …and Stash Part 2. It is now only 1/3 the size of it’s former glory. I kept the yarns I love to work with, the precious yarns that were handspun or gifted…
