Rainbow Wonderpants!

Gosh these knit up so fast! Here is go No. 2! Rainbow thick n thin from www.holysheepyarns.com . I love the fabric that this makes - nice texture and pattern. It is actually pretty easy to work with since it is spiral wrapped. These pants are one continuous strand and there was not a single weak spot. VERY strong even in the thinner parts. I was very impressed! She can do tees to match now too.

You can see the yarn pattern here - nice and soft and silky even!

I just love these pants. They are SO cute, knit SO fast, fit perfectly....

I added more short rows than the pattern calls for - mainly because I can't do the same thing twice! I did make a change unintentionally on both pairs that I have made (these and the orchid pair). I did the 10 increases and 5 decreases that you are supposed to do on the regular pattern (whereas these are chunky weight). Whoops! I love the fit though - so I am afraid to try the right way! Ha! There is not a single tug anywhere! (KWIM? Where the knitting looks pulled tight because it is stretched?) They fit like a glove over all of our dipes. Love that!

Oh, and these are a size sm/med with a 7 inch inseam (about a 16 inch rise) and I had 8 oz. of yarn. I had enough left over that I wasn't biting my nails as I was finishing, but not enough to do much else with it.

Oh, oh, the pattern is from www.woolywonder.com.

LAURA!!! How on earth do you have time to make such beautiful things with three little ones at home? Those are absolutely gorgeous...and so are your kids!

I have a little guy on the way (3 weeks from tomorrow!) and all he has (as far as wool goes) is one lonely Sugarpeas wool cover. Can I hire you to make him something to wear over his Kissaluvs?

I have carseat placement questions for you too, but Sydney's waking up from her nap right now. I'll PM you soon...
