Wow your boots are so fly.  What kind of machine do you have?  It looks like the design is fairly large and really neat looking.  Just curious...

I really like this idea; I'm totally going to make some. Did you avoid using a sweater that had cuffs like those on hoodies? Would this idea work with those?
