LEG WARMERS AND HEAD WARMERS

I fell in love with this picture…

I found it on this BLOG she also has an ETSY SHOP. She makes the cutest stuff and has two adorable daughters that she uses as models. Anyway, I wrote her and asked if she would sell me her pattern and she emailed me back and said she really didn’t use a pattern but she took the time to write it all out in an email. So kind.

So this is what I did with her pattern…

I made them for this reluctant model…

We had to bribe her to put them on…

But of course she wanted her picture taken…

She is not thrilled with them but I had fun making them.

She had a special winter activity with her school and when she got home she called me to tell me how many compliments she got from all the girls at school. Does a Grams heart good…
