Love your legs, handmade style

A cold snap is all it's taken for legwarmers - previously on the fringes of what was considered acceptable wear - to fall firmly into fasion-friendly territory. All of a sudden it's ok to wear them with a straight face, even if you're not going to a flashdance party. In fact, it's the only sane way to wear a skirt...

Some of the best 'warmers I've seen are coming direct from the craft community, which has a knack for meeting these sudden needs. Clokwise from top left, here are some of Etsy's finest:
