Finished longies.

All done! I'm going to start on a soaker next with some more of the same brand of wool I picked up at the yarn store yesterday.The crotch looks like a drunken five year old made it, the holes still look mangled and ugly and there are a number of places where I made a mess of the stitches in one way or another but they're done and they resemble actual pants and he can wear them so woot! I learned and I'll learn more on the next thing I make. I'm just tickled that one can make garments out of string and sticks. It seems like a useful post-apocalyptic skill and I don't really have enough of those.

Awesome! Those look seriously great.

Inquiring minds want to know, though, how long the legs are. I've been going back and forth on finishing up mine and doing a bad job of it.

They are 6 inches including the cuff but a little longer probably would have been better. I'm a bit worried that by the time it gets cool here (which isn't until late Oct) that he might have outgrown them though I'll probably put him in them before then since these kind of pants are pretty breathable and not very hot.

Hehe, I don't feel like I'm doing very well. They really look much better in the picture than they do in real life. They're just carefully posed! :)
