When I put the pea Oyummys on I was so pleased that they come up mid thigh on me, a perfect sock length! During the day they slid down a bit so the ribbed cuff was starting right over my knee. Still a good length. They required a little more pulling up throughout the day, but I’m suspecting that is because my legs are so woefully thin. I love the knubby texture, it adds a pattern without the visual business of an actual pattern. I also love that these are a thinner sock, so they’re great for in between seasons, like now. My legs were comfy and didn’t get too hot.
Because these are a thinner sock, {thinner than M43s or Mstripes}, tattoos will show up some through the material. I had to get these just because they are called Peas. I love peas. :) And at $6 each I want the peach and bubblegum colours too because I really like these socks.
Pea Oyummys shown above with $10 pink Microfiber Chenille Leg Warmers, the $7 Simple Elastic Sock Garter and the new $16 Biella Kathy Mohair Leg Warmers in charcoal. The chenille warmers are deliciously soft and snug yet stretchy. There’s only 2 colours in stock now so instead I’ll talk about the Mohair Warmers. These are wonderful. They are a thin stretchy kind of knit, but don’t let that fool you, the mohair will still keep your ankles or legs plenty warm. The colouring is sweet with hints of rainbow colours throughout the knit. They look soft and fuzzy but are a bit scratchy because they are mohair. So you’d want to wear them over something, which most of us do with warmers anyway. lol. :)
An interesting thing with these is the knit pattern is on the outside, with the smoother vertical looking ribs on the inside. I sharpened up the pic below so you can see the knit pattern:
The pic above is heavily photoshoped, in reality they look fuzzy.
The right leg has the warmer on inside out so you can see the weave for each way of wearing. These Biella Kathy Mohair Leg Warmers are pretty versatile. It’s like having 2 different looks in one leg warmer. The only bad thing is that white seam on the folded cuff, but that’s easy enough to fold into a cuff and hide. Also since they’re mohair I would keep them out of the dryer to avoid shrinkage.
These are perfect for someone who wants the look of leg warmers but doesn’t like the constricting feel or heavy weight some warmers have. Since these are so light, I didn’t even feel them while I had them on. As someone who has sore joints I can attest to the healing powers of wearing leg and wrist warmers. So if you know anyone with arthritis or sore joints, see if you can get them hooked on warmers because it really does help the joints.

it’d be cool if I could copy your banner and post that on my deviant-art page. I am so about promoting you. :)

Thanks! I really love the color scheme of it..

Oh, and the layout is up. Go here: http://www.xanga.com/librarycards to view it! Tell me what you think… (:

Hrm. That answers my question about whether this user on the NZ auction site Trademe has permission to use your photos then. Obviously they order a lot of stuff, but… yeah. Not exactly the polite route, that.

Bailey I like it! I don’t think it’s plain at all. & I think that’s Niq’s call there. I just keep finding ppl on deviant art posting her pics as theirs. & Good thing I brought it up cuz Rachel, that seller is in violation of copywrite laws and I’m sure her user agreemenet as well. It would probably help Niqkita out if you report them if you’re a member as you have to be one to report someone. There’s a violation button on the buttom. I’m always just reporting ppl at deviant. Saves Niq the trouble, I’d rather have her spend her time bringing in more socks for us than tracking art thieves. lol. wippee!! :)))

OOoh if peas is not your color, maybe you could try the peach O yummies with Mint mohair leg warmers and camel chenille warmers?
September 6th, 2006 at 1:53 pm
: ) sounded pretty to me. So does anyone know how they work on larger legs?
September 6th, 2006 at 5:48 pm
Uhm, what do you mean by ‘used’? Because I sometimes post pictures of the socks here.. Like ‘Wow, I really love these, maybe I’ll buy some’ Using like that? or like for graphics and stuff?

pea is my favourite too, it looks more like a yummy lime dessert colour rather than peas to me… but how would “yummy lime dessert” look on a label? they’re almost like a neon olive colour… :D
September 5th, 2006 at 6:09 pm
the knit side usually faces outwards. :D
September 5th, 2006 at 4:21 pm
I’m thinking that pea is not my favorite color, but these socks are just adorable x3 I really like that first picture, and I’m wondering if you would mind too much if I used it to decorate my layout.. :)?

Oh my gosh! That picture with both legwarmers is sooo cute. If only I had $39! (at least I’m pretty sure I added correctly…you never know with me these days). Sigh. About how high would the O yummies go on a little bit larger leg, say…21 inches at the widest?
