As promised the picture of V's new shorties. These were made with a heavily modified version of sheepy pants to get the perfect fit for V. These were knit with Mosaic Moon Rowan's yarn colorway on Targhee. I really enjoyed knitting with this yarn it is so soft and squishy and I think it will hold up to what V can dish out. The waist is enclosed drawstring, I think most of our woolies will be knit with this now it is the best of both worlds smooth like an elastic waist but I can cinch it in and tie it to keep her from taking them off. I finished the bottom with some open lacework. If you follow my blog I knit this same colorway in merino from Mosaic Moon about 2 weeks ago and it looks totally different!


A close-up of the open lacework when they are on -- it shows up much better against skin and I really like it. Very simple but adds just a touch of special.

I finished the Tara soaker and Tara capris -- here they are just before I washed and lanolized them. If the weather stays nice (dry and sunny) these should be dry and ready to ship by Thursday! The newborn soaker is so cute and tiny!

Both legs on the Tara capris are finished -- tonight I just have the graft the gusset, weave ends and do the elastic waistband. Once I have that done on these I will begin a matching newborn soaker. Oh and the legs aren't uneven it is just how they are laying and because the gusset has not be grafted yet.

Here is last nights progress on the TIG Tara capris. I have one more short row to put in and then I start the gussett hopefully I will be ready to split for the legs tonight! V is usually absolutely amazed by my yarn but this yarn is different she is obessed with it, I've had to put my knitting up in a closet to keep her away if my knitting bag it out and she sees this yarn she comes on over and grabs the skein and pets it (that it why it is so straggly looking). I may need to get her this colorway :)
