one stitch wonders


because my baby doesn't crawl, she scoots everywhere she goes, i know that she's going to rip out the bum of every pair of tights we own this winter time. i mentioned this to britt and she immediately set forth to find a solution to my woe's. finding this tutorial we sprung into action. after a few short hours i have oodles of leg warmers to keep lil H happy and toasty all winter long.
luckily, she lurves them already:
F has been rockin the skull ones as arm warmers under his t-shirts. really, could women's knee high's be just a little bit more useful?

tips to go along with the tutorial:

1) no matter how much you want to turn it inside out to sew it, snap out of it and sew it right side out.
2) fuzzy socks, while warm, look goofy and shed
3) dollar store has a ton of socks, but target has CUTE ones
4) start with an ugly pair first... just in case!
5) if you make some, i wanna see them. ;-D

H looked awesome in her fuzzy legs today. I'm still trying to think of a way to use the toes, but the only thing I've been able to come up with is that they'd make some nice pasties. Slap some double-stick tape on those bad boys!

(am I allowed to talk about pasties on your blog??)
