Knitted Pants And What Not!

When winter comes, and the top half of yourself is fine and warm under a thickly knitted sweater, and your bottom half freezes, you will want knitted pants. Except, no one does that, you’ll never see a sweater-panted man walking about. Not until now anyway, as funky knitting enthusiast Stephen West takes this imagination and makes it reality.

How Do You Do It?
Well you make it, out of sweaters, into pants or as Stephen West likes to call it Swants. You cut up your old sweater that you were planning to give away, and make it a whole new piece of winter clothing. If you do not have any such old rags of knitted wool, then get some, some cheap some.. because it may take you a few tries to achieve complete Swants mastery.
Why Do You Do It?
The answer is “hmm… I do not know”, unless you’re actually doing it to keep your legs warm, in that case, practical and inexpensive warmth is your answer. Another reason would be, because they look originally awesome!
Who Will Where It?
First thought for anyone would be gypsies, because they are cool like that. But really, anyone who loves wearing their own creation would where Swants. That being said, these Swants can look mega sassy if you can pull it off.
Get Yourself Some Knittings, One Way Or Another
Stephen West has an online tutorial that teaches how to make some Swants for yourself. What a nice guy, but he gets nicer by giving you the option of buying Swants from his online store, where you can find all kinds of knitted stuff.
