Sew cute! I love legwarmers too (still a baby!)
Just popping over from my blog - you commented on my gloves. The wool is just us using up absolutley random scraps - sew a bit of everything really. A bit of mohair too which i think makes them extra warm and snuggley. Thanks for popping by!
They're great when babies are crawling - they protect wee-knees from carpet burn and getting dirty.
Well, scraps or no - the colors are great! *ideas bubbling for my scrap wool box .... mmmm* If you knit a fair bit, I'm getting into pattern writing and I'll be posting some of them here as I work them out - I'd love feedback on them! (my goal is to get a pattern published by the end of the year)
Have fun!
