Do you remember when leg warmers were the “in” thing? I was in maybe third grade or something. Not just for aerobicizing women, I’m pretty we just wore them to school. They were h-o-t.

Anyway, I purchased some super-cute leg warmers as a baby shower gift from Baby Legs. Then, I decided I could also knit some basic ones. Not as cute as the polka dots, stripes, or skull and crossbones that Baby Legs makes, but these were done while watching Sunday Night Football. Nice and easy. Here’s the pattern I used.

Believe it or not, the yarn is the same as the baby hat I knit earlier. Different light, different time of the day that the picture was taken makes the colors a bit off. I know, we are having a girl and I’ve knit a lot of blue stuff. But, I’m merely trying to use yarn that I have sitting in the house. Besides I’m not one to put gender stereotypes on my child so early. Don’t cha think? For anyone who is still not convinced, my plan is to add some pom-poms to the bottom of warmers to make them a little bit more girly, but not too girly. Either I will outsource the pom-poms to E., or perhaps I’ll try to do them myself. I just found some instructions on the web. Ain’t the Inter-webs amazing?

Sorry, this blog has become more crafty than I meant it to be. I’ll bring some food pics back soon. It is Thanksgiving weekend, after all, and this afternoon I’ll be making my traditional bourbon pumpkin cheesecake.
