Boot Covers- Crochet Project
After receiving my large box of Yarn, I was excited to see all the bright colors that had come!! I LOVE COLORS! I have a lot of Rainbow colored ideas in my head right now and the first was leg warmers. I started working on these and Paige came over and asked what I was making. I told her I was making Leg Warmers and she gave me that look of "why?" LOL... thanks PAIGE! I was going to make her model them when I was finished but I knew by that look she would not be too pleased with me. I thought that they would make a cute addition to her little school uniform for days she wore skirts. But she did not seem too thrilled about them and she does not like LEG WARMERS. I guess she just does not know style yet. = ) So I continued with one color after another. I did not add the cinching at the top and bottom and put them on my leg (over my boot) to see size and decide how much more I needed to do if any before starting to do the ends. After I did that, I got the idea for myself... boot covers!! I have had my UGGs for a few years now and I love them the way they are but sometimes the plain grey needs a little color. Why not place these over them and cover the upper half of the boot while leaving the foot part exposed? It worked and I think they look cute! I can always add the tops and bottoms to them later if I wanted to. I was very happy they came out matching nicely and also the " seams" are barely visible. They crocheted up pretty fast. The only thing that became difficult was the yarn tangling around the other colors since I left all attached until the end. Would I do it again? YEP! How cute would they be to have different holiday ones as well... Valentine's day is coming up!
