Oops, forgot to mention that the lovely wool came from Ali at Bumnround :)




Some updated pics of the BFL longies. My new needles arrived on Friday so I was finally able to carry on with the legs! what a dufus for starting them in one size without checking that I had the same size in the smaller circumference *rolls eyes* Anyway, I have been powering along and I can't believe how far I've gone in just one night and a bit of the afternoon. And knitting with people around me bugging me LOL

The waistband is the Curly Purly, which I really love, but is a bit of a PITB because ribbing is not my favourite thing and seems to take me forever! (although I am getting much faster at it now). The rest of it has just been made up as I've gone along based on the number of stitches I needed for M's measurements (I had to adjust the required number for the curly purly pattern). This has worked out great because I did the gusset differently to the one other pattenr I've got (which I don't really like all that much anymore LOL) and it also gave me the extra stitches in the legs that I wanted to try and avoid that *girly* look that the other pattern seems to end up with for me. Can't wait to get these finished so I can try them on M! DH keeps asking what I'm doing though, and I think he's a bit miffed I'm not working on his throw rug LOL I just get more instant gratification with these because they are finished so quickly! I feel like I've been knitting that throw forever and I'm still not finished the second lot of squares LOL
