I had two knitting projects I wanted to complete over winter break. One was my stocking for my house using the same pattern as Jorge and Tre's. I had begun it at work two days before break and accidentally left it in my classroom so I didn't get to work on it. Now that I'm back to work on it. I'm knitting it daily as I pump. But I did get to finish my first pair of longies at 10:45 Sunday night.
I used 100% cotton for these practice pants and this pattern
http://community.livejournal.com/yarny_bits/89662.html. So they're not waterproof or a diaper soaker or anything but the next ones will be. I wanted to take pictures of the progress but unfortunately I have misplaced my camera and I'm not sure why I didn't use my phone. But here they are... my first pair of knit pants! I will put them on Tre and take action shots this evening.
Here are the pants in action. They are way too big around the waist! I am going to have to fold over the waist, sew it in then put a drawstring through to make them stay on. Tre was a little too excited about having mommy and daddy home and would not stop running back and forth from us to the dogs so I couldn't get any front clear pictures.






I hope you next baby is a girl so that baby John can inherit these :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not so sure you want these ones but maybe my next pair.
ReplyDeleteThose are so adorable!! I love them! I don't think you need to do anything to the waist. I bet he will grow so fast that they will be fine =) I might have to make a pair for Adelaide. I've done lots of soakers, but never pants. I would do the next ones with wool for sure! I love my wooly soakers. They work like magic.
