What the Pinterest?

Okay, Pinterest. I have a serious bone to pick with you.

Rather, a bone to pick with the peeps who have pinned tutorials for leg warmers/boot socks made out of a sweater sleeves.

I'm not going to name any names here (or post your tutorials),

but I am going to generally, passive-aggressively throw you under the bus by saying this:

Your tutorials are great in theory.

Great if you have huge arms.

Great if you have toothpick legs.

I have neither of these.

I got super excited about making some boot socks with a sweater that I don't really wear anymore.

But then became completely crestfallen when putting it into practice.

To give you a nice mental image...

trying to get my calves into my sweater sleeves was a bit like squeezing my post holiday bod into my spanks. nice.

It wasn't exactly the look...

After crying myself to sleep (okay, not really),

I went back to it with a pair of scissors, a positive attitude, and a song in my heart.

I cut from the torso of the sweater,

sewed the pieces into tubes,

sewed up the bottom,

and done.

I feel so much better now.

So, that's the tutorial for leg warmers/boot socks from a sweater for normal people.
or maybe just people with big legs?

fini.
