The new way of custom ordering - Leg warmers and Instagram
Love and adore my new legwarmers.
At breakfast I see that my highly anticipated custom order of a pair of legwarmers have started. The picture in my feed brings a big smile on my face as I know that this picture, published by a crafty woman in Canada, is published not only for all her IG followers but also for me to see. She has started the make of my legwarmers and I am so excited by what I see. She is making them right now!
Later I eagerly follow her feed to see the progress, watching my legwarmers grow stitch by stitch, row by row... One legwarmer done, another one to go. How her sweet furry dog keeps her company while stitching away with her needles.
I am taking part of weather information, mood while stitching, how the yarn feels on her needles. I am taking part of all the cheerful comments and delightful compliments from other excited IG:ers for this creation that soon is going to be mine.
I have said it before (you remember the fingerless mitts I bought form the same girl???) and I am saying it again. It certainly is something special to order custom made and especially when you can follow the handmade process via social media. It gives that little extra to what you pay for. It makes you realize that this is not just something you picked on a shelf, mass produced in China.
These legwarmers were handmade with love and passion by a wonderful woman across the Atlantic. For me. For me only. No one will ever wear the same beautiful leg warmers as me. They are unique and one of a kind. And if I carefully follow the washing instructions they will be worn by me year after year for I don't know how long. And every single time I will think of Monique at Blueberry Fields knitting them for me, with her dog on her lap keeping her company. Isn't that just fabulous?
