Love of boot toppers

I have been on a boot-cuff making spree. I knitted some pairs and crocheted others and have more planned. I should be finishing my pineapple baby blanket, but this requires a visit to the craft store to buy more yarn, and we all know how dangerous that is. (Just one ball of yarn? But, but... Look at all those great colors that I just have to have!)

Has anyone else found the joy of boot toppers? They're like short legwarmers that cover just the part of your calf that sticks out of the top of your boot, and a bit below. Mine are only about 4 inches long or so. I think some people make them big enough to fold over the boot, but mine are just for the legs.

Here are some pics of one of my crocheted pairs:

I made a few pairs for my girls and they are really loving them. My 5-year-old loved hers so much she wore them to bed one night! They're really cozy.

I tried out a pair, too, and they really did add a lot of warmth. If you live in a cool climate, these are a perfect alternative to full length leg warmers or heavy socks. Of course, I did have on my handknit socks Saturday, and I must say my feet were nice and toasty while the rest of me froze at the morning soccer games. Maybe I can make a bigger pair of boot cuffs and wear them with my handknit socks, boots and jeans. Yeah!
