Pedicure friendly socks

I totally hate freezing my feet off because I have wet toenails and can't put my socks on. Our basement isn't finished and thats where we do our pedis at my house. Brrrrrrr!!! But I don't have to freeze anymore because I just made these socks for myself out of a pair of clearance knee highs I got at Target for $1.75!! I'll show you how hard this was to do - NoT!! I think the actual process took less than 10 minutes. Add in my newbie struggles and it changed the number slightly but I still did it in one sitting... each, lol!
Pic #1 - I put the sock on and used a permanent marker to draw a line across where my toes meet my foot. Then I drew lines down in between my toes. I took the sock back off and laid it flat making sure the lines were on top.
Pic #2 - I sewed back and forth a few times where I had marked the lines between my toes - but on the opposite side of the horizontal line. I started on the line and went toward the heel - I hope that makes sense. If you sew on top of the toe lines you'll just cut them off in the next step.
Pic #3 - cut off the socks where you drew the line between your toes and your feet.
Pic #4 - pretty toes, happy feet!!

Yes, Dave made fun of these but my toes do not like being in socks but my feet get cold so he can laugh all he wants - it doesn't hurt to wear socks anymore!!!
