| Leia can't keep her puppy teeth away from my projects |
Pretty much all that was left of this sweater were the sleeves and neckline. I loved the zigzag pattern of this Goodwill find, but it was too small for me to wear. I had previously cut off the body of the sweater to use for a pillow (which, incidentally, was just snagged beyond recognition by Zooey's collar. Boo). After some shopping last week, I had an idea for how I could use the remnants.
Boot Socks!
I cut the sleeves off. That's it. I didn't bother trying to hem the edge because sewing sweaters is a pain. They will probably fray, but I left them long enough that I can fold the rough edge under to hide it. They also happen to be long enough that I can scrunch them down and wear them as leg warmers.

But here is how I intend to wear them. Not only do they provide some extra insulation for my ankles, but they add a little interest to my leg's sense of style.
I somehow always end up having my best ideas right at the end of the season. This idea, like Zooey's dog sweater, came a little late in winter, but there's no rule that says that I can't just save them for next fall... (except certain fashion rules, I suppose. But you know I don't follow those!)
