Home-made arm/leg warmers

I'll take pics tonight - she did a tight zig zag stitch on the edges with the sewing machine.

a little OT... but a little related.. Catriona's leg/arm warmers reminded me of a project I started last winter. I was making kitty beds (or tiny dog, I guess) out of recycled thrift store wool sweaters (I was shrinking them down with hot water so that they were nice and felty - there's also a thrift store outlet here.... they sell stuff by the pound....). I was doing two styles, round ones and rectangle sleeves for putting over a pet bed warmer (my cats love their heated bed). It kind of went by the wayside when I broke my sewing machine.... so I never really got enough of them finished to think about finding someplace to perhaps sell them and I'm not even sure if anyone would want them or not. They are a bit rustic, but they are one of a kind and made out of all recycled materials (well, not the thread, but everything else).
