From Me To You.



















It seems like a lot of people are in a giving mood lately. In fact, there is currently a Bloggy Giveaway Carnival going on. While I don't have much to offer, I still want to participate in the generosity! So here's something hand-made by me! Nothing too fancy - just some knitted baby leg warmers. If you're a parent of a baby, or even a big kid, I'm sure you know what BabyLegs are.

This is my take on them, a hand-knit pair of baby legwarmers. I am giving away either the adorable pink and grey pair shown, or if you prefer something different (or have a boy), I will knit a completely custom pair for you! I have been knitting in my spare (HA!) time for about a year now, with a long break due to laziness morning sickness. I finally picked it back up about three weeks before the arrival of Moxie & Clarity. For more of my crafty projects, go here.


To enter my contest, just leave a comment below between now and February second. I will be randomly selecting and announcing the winner on February third. Please be sure to leave your email address so that I can contact you if you are the winner! FYI - These will most likely not fit a big kid. They are best for itty-bittites. Last but not least, this is for *one* pair of baby leg warmers.



Congrats to Stephanie from Vegas, who is the winner of my knitted baby leg warmers giveaway!

VERY cute - think they'll fit my 10month old? Our girl kicks off any and all socks we put on her - these look like they'd do the trick! Thanks for the chance...

Kim N said...

These are GREAT! I have never seen baby leg warmers before, but what a great idea. I have a two month old so this would be perfect.

Rachel said...

Oh my goodness I LOVE Baby Legs!! I think these may just be even better because I bet they'd be even warmer than the basic cotton ones!

Qtpies7 said...

Oh, I am SO hooked on baby leg warmers! I just found an awesome mom who does them affordably! But I have never seen them knit, and I would ADORE trying them out! You should really look at going into business with them. Or teach me, lol. I would LOVE to make and sell them.

Oh, they are so great! I don't think my son would love the pink (hee hee!) but plain old gray would work for him! (They are so great for cold days, when it seems like jeans and pants ALWAYS ride up, especially when I wear him in a baby carrier.)

Please don't enter me, someone else will enjoy them. My kids are too old for these (5 y.o., 3 1/2 y.o., almost 2 y.o.), and I wish I had buckled and just bought some for any of my 3 kids. They are so wonderful, especially for babywearing moms whose LO's pants ride up their lil legs!

I just wanted to say how beautiful these are and how much they make me want to have another baby to stuff into these lil gray babylegs.
