legwarmers

a few weeks ago, elias told me about his ballet and how cold it usually is when they start the class. he came up with the idea of wearing some legwarmers, but they should not be pink. i understood and felt the same way. legwarmers are great and pink is just not quiet his favorite colour which i also grasped very quickly.
on my end, i didn't want to spend half a fortune on them. there was one way left to deal with this: make your own.
it's an easy quick knit and had some yarn ready for this in no time. he even liked the colour and the idea of a little cable pattern too. a week ago i was done and he was excited. even more excited about the idea of legwarmers, was naomi, i could have vorseen this couldn't i. so two days ago we were digging ourselfs through my stash of wool and yarn and she picked some pinkish ones.
so here we are in the middle of the second pair of legwarmers...
it's spring, perfect for legwarmers, as naomi likes to run around bare feet and i often feel like she should rather wear socks or tights...
there are some fun looking ready to buy legwarmers out there for baby's and bigger kids too. i especially like the ones from this store, they seem to have a great selection!
