I think something pretty is in order, for no other reason to combat yesterday’s vent. So, how about a few FO pictures?
Side view:
The side view shows off the short rows in the bum, for accommodating a fluffy diaper.
Details:
Pattern: Sheepy Pants
Yarn: just about 220 yards of my hand dyed self-striping yarn
Start: April 13th
Finish: April 17th
Modifications and details:
*I did just three sets of short rows. I wasn’t sure if I had enough yarn, and figured we could get by with 3. For most of our diapers I can, but some of the bulkier ones it’s a bit of a stretch.
* I was planning on just making shorts, but kept going to see how close I could get to pants. I really liked the thicker stripes on the legs, my real motivation for keeping going
* I did both legs at the same time from opposite ends of the ball. For the record (as if I didn’t know this) this means stripes are backwards on one side. Duh.
Measurements: 17″ rise, 7″ inseam
And finally, just for fun, a picture of my silly boy trying not to laugh:
Nice! I like those pants. I wonder if my E would wear a pair? No diaper shaping in the bum for him any more though! Thank god, he is 4 after all. 😉
Your E looks like he has quite the personality! Great half smile he has there. Could eat him up!
Oh my dear sweet britches, his hair is so sweet and long.
Love the pants. Love the stripes. Even love the anger.
Cute pants, but even cuter boy!
Cute! Both your silly boy adn the pants!
The pants are adorable….are these the same pants you started and thought were too bright, I think they are perfect. And love the cute baby shot…can’t have enough of those. I still can’t get over how much hair he has!
The pants came out great and what an adorable picture of your little guy!
yes, he is quite delish!
And the longies aren’t so bad either
🙂
