Second Time's A Charm

I'm so into recycled wool sweaters and all that you can do with them. I have a zippered storage cube of thrift store wool sweaters just awaiting my next whim. After a few weeks of, "Wow! The weather is so warm now..." we've had some chilly days. This, coupled with the fact that Jahan has had some fevers with his new teeth coming in inspired me to create some quickie baby leggings for him to wear while he crawls on the wood floor. While he's dressed down to a onesie to help keep his fever down, his little legs feel chilled from the cold floor. So, I took the sleeves of a woman's size medium sweater, used the cuff for the thigh portion of the legging, and crocheted a cotton cuff for the ankle end (decreasing a couple of stitches with each round ad I went). These took me less than an hour and they are perfect for our need! I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this, but now, for me, it's tried and true.
