behold the fabulousness of warm calves

[pennylane8]

 was there life before leg-warmers?  Since I've only acquired my first (and second) pair of leg-warmers in the last few months, reason tells me there must have been.  But how I survived for nearly 27 years without them is beyond me (knee socks are a close second favorite, but I only discovered the wonders of those a year ago...).  Most essential indoor winter accessory ever, if you ask me, and my 2 pairs are in heavy rotation

While I'm at it, I'm gonna go ahead and give a shout-out to hand-made hats and scarves, too.
