Don't Tell Them About the Legwarmers

Although Ember said, "Don't tell them about the legwarmers," she also said, "Put me on your blog!" So, here are pics of Ember wearing the legwarmers that I made from the sleeves of a felted wool sweater.

Basically, you wash a 100% wool sweater in a top-loading washer with very hot water and dishsoap until it shrinks up and looks like felt. Then you can cut it any way you want. I prefer to make bags from the sweater body and I just had the brilliant idea to make legwarmers from the sleeves. The girls love 'em! Maybe Ember just doesn't want anyone to know that her crazy aunt puts sleeves on her legs.
