I did it!

I finished my very first tutorial. I had one pair of BabyLegs but needed more. I didn't want to borrow friends' because Inara's cast was kind of fraying the material. I heard rumors of Newport Target having them for $4/pair. I went and bought every one they had! But when I came home...this was the result:

So then in the evening Justin and I went on a wild goose chase to find them in Florence. But of course Spring isn't really the season for leg warmers, so we searched without any luck :( I asked good trusty Facebook where else I could buy them. Then a friend suggested I try to make them. I always WANT to be crafty, but I am so scared I'll mess it up, that I never even try. But I found this tutorial. It was super helpful, but I am a visual person and wanted more pictures. And then I found this video tutorial.  So last night I decided I would do it! I had a bunch of long socks that didn't fit anyway, so if it didn't work then no big. I wouldn't be out any money.

I started by cutting off the heel and the toe. You can use scissors, but I am a freak and wanted a perfect straight line, so I used my quilting stuff to cut my socks.

One stitch + 10 minutes = homemade babylegs!

And they fit!
