Shorties for Ezra

Long overdue pictures here! I've had these finished for a while and they were dry yesterday. I feel yucky. Bleck. :P Stupid stomach bug, getting in the way of my un-interrupted knitting and cleaning and scrapbooking. The girls are having way too much at Grandma's this week, although we are not getting pictures (AHEM!) to prove it. I couldn't get the color right, the trim has more of a green hue to it. The trim and body color are Lion Wool 100% wool and knit on size 7 needles, pattern is sort of a combo of the Belladonna pattern and the Perfection Pants pattern. Neither uses an elastic waistband, that's my first attempt, and yeah, it's kind of "festive" looking! I have another pair of shorts for Evelyn on the needles and the waistband looks SO much better. (Thanks Zersha!!!)

I hope they fit the little Pin baby!

Swish Ruffle Shorts finished!

Ruffle style #2. Super easy to do - Kfab for 2 rows, then bind off. Annoying and time-consuming because you end up with a ridiculous number of stitches at the end and I, for one, hardly have the patience to CO 7,567,235 stitches. Okay that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it sure feels like forever, especially when you're just wanting to get them done!! The yarn is superwash wool from www.knitpicks.com. It's incredibly soft and nice to work with! It is machine washable so these are wear-to-daycare shorties. :)

Action shot ~ see that they are kinda tight over her fitted diaper. They'll fit better over a 'sposie and that's what I intended!

I still need to make a drawstring for the waist, and I'm determined to figure out how to use my lucet if it kills me!! I'm sure it's so easy, but I'm just not getting it. Sigh.
