Recently Finished Projects (most recent to oldest):

These are bubs newly finished Curly Picky Pants and Curly Picky Capris. I had alot of trouble getting these right but I am very pleased with the result. A BIG Thanks to Irene and Shara from NC who gave me alot of help converting the patterns so they could be combined effectively.

Newborn Longies – Curly Purly waistband on Picky Pants

These longies are knitted in the round on 4.5mm circular needles with 3.5mm & 4mm circular needles for the Curly Purly waistband. I used 100g (152m) of 'Marilyn' 10 Ply superwash Merino from Live2Knit in the Tutti Frutti colourway. The colours remind me of fruit tingles LOL!

I did the PP short rows and added width to the waist to allow for growth. For the cuffs of the longies I used part of a crochet headband design by Tracey of 'Desert Rose Designs'. I had some wool left so I made a beanie with crochet flowers that match those I put on the pants.

Small Capris - Curly Purly waistband on Picky Pants Capris

These longies are knitted in the round on 4.5mm circular needles with 3.5mm & 4mm circular needles for the Curly Purly waistband. I used 100g of Aran weight BFL from Monster Knits in the Sienna colourway.

I did the 3 single CP short rows and added width to the waist to allow for growth. For the cuffs of the longies I did picot edging. To embellish I used 3 colours of tapestry wool to crochet some flowers. I used large 6 petal flowers, medium 5 petal flowers and small 4 petal flowers.

I had some wool left over so I made a headband to match as well. The design for this came from Tracey of 'Desert Rose Designs'. I may add some flowers to this once I am sure the circumference is correct.
