Happy New Year! Actual projects, actual FOs!!
We're having a bit of a cold snap here in usually very moderate, quite sunny Santa Cruz, so I've been babylegging Miss Hanalee every day for the past few weeks. What are babylegs??
Legwarmers for babies, or course!! So eighties, but so great! Just a little extra layer under her pants so she 1) doesn't get a chilly wind up her pant leg, and 2) has a little extra knee padding for all her crawling about. They also make diaper changes easier than if you have to deal with tights or a pair of leggings.
The ones she is wearing in the pictures (the first of which, no matter what I seem to do, will not cooperate and orient itself rightside up!) I made myself out of women's knee socks, though we also have a few pair that I purchased. There is a tutorial here that was very helpful if you're interested in sewing up you own -- very quick and easy even for sewing machine beginners.
More FOs to come,... (no, really!!!).
Why yes, we do babyleg! They're great for carseat and stroller rides when the little pants just keep climbing up...
Stay cozy!

We babyleg, too. We also love Huggalugs...a new australian brand of babylegs!
Hana is adorable...and getting so big, so fast!
