Baby leg warmers

To me, little babies look funny wearing little baby pants.  They always look like they are wearing old man pants pulled way up to their chest.  I like the look of a onesie with baby leg warmers instead so I found a free pattern through a Ravelry search.  I realize it seems strange for me to be decking my baby out in wool while living in Florida but, since we are in the panhandle, it does get chilly during the night in the winter and in early spring.  The one I used is called Woolies by Jenny Raymond.  I am about 80% finished with knitting my first one.  It is a very easy pattern to follow. It probably wouldn’t take someone else long to knit a pair of them, but I am a slow knitter and have way too many projects started at once and not enough knitting time to hand out on any given day.  I am using Lion Brand Baby Wool in English Garden.  

It knits up very nicely and is suppose to be a superwash, but since I haven’t washed mine yet I can’t comment as to how well it does yet.  I will post about it once I do.  Incidentally, I am geochick on Ravelry.
