New FO! Zen String shorties

Here's my latest finished item. It is a pair of shorties knit with the WW Perfection Pants pattern. The trim is knit with white Peace Fleece, while the body is knit with Nirvana worsted Zen String in the now retired Pumpkin Pie colorway. The waistband is a 1x1 ribbing, while the legs cuffs were done in seed stitch. I still need to add a drawstring, but they're otherwise finished. I LOVE the way these came out, and the Zen String was a dream to knit with! So luxuriously soft and smooth in your hands, and the color is just beautiful!

I was a bit worried about the length in the legs, but it came out just right!

Pulled the sewing machine back out...

I finally blew the dust of the sewing machine and got back to work! Since Kaiden is crawling, and I only have two pair of babylegs, I really needed to make some more. They work great for keeping his knees from getting dirty or banged up when he's cruising around. Also keeps his legs warm while being able to show off his adorable diapers!

These homemade babylegs were created from a pair of tights. I was able to get two pair of babylegs out of them, though I'm only showing off one pair! The other didn't come out so nice, but is still plenty functional. The ankle cuffs are a tad too wide, but otherwise these fit him well. Great news for those thunder thighs!



I also have a diaper I started tonight. It's from the Fatty Cakes pattern, and is a fitted diaper. The outer is a cotton woven print, hemp french terry internal soaker, and a cotton velour inner. I still need to add the snaps, the external soaker, and sew the back closed. I'll have pics for you when I'm done, as well as a sneak peek of the rest of the future fitteds stash! In the meantime, here's a peek at the dipe-in-progress. Enjoy!
