I'm proud of myself for learning how to bind off and how to pick up dropped stitches . -------------------- ~~Mollie~~ Mom to Logan, Quentin, Ethan, Hannah, Kayla, & Abigail!

Yes, the rainbow one was the 2nd one. I did plain garter stitch on the tan one, and the stockinette stitch on the rainbow. These were made with worsted weight cotton yarn.

I have a TON of yummy wool yarn here to make soakers or longies from once I get good enough & after I find a good pattern.

You will love working in the round when you start trying for longies or shorties....I say go for it now. this is teh first one I did (done flat) ... http://www.dunmani.plus.com/knitting/patterns/soaker.html it is done flat and realllllly easy. worsted weight and size 4 needles gave us a size that fits Johnny pretty good right now. after that the sheepy pants pattern is really cool. I messed up probably the first 10 pairs but didn't realize it until later when I figured out that i was reading something wrong...I love patterns that are forgiving to my stupidity http://www.sheepytimeknits.com/knit/pants.htm and at $5.75 a good price --------------------

Thanks!! I have circular needles on the way in the mail (Addi Turbo's), and I can't wait to try knitting in the round. And thank you for that longies pattern! Hopefully it will be easy for me to figure out.
