Longies done
I am washing them now and then will block them before I head off to church. They turned out amazing and I got almost a whole extra inch in the inseam. I will get some pics tomorrow in better light.
I will be winding all the yarn for devholan’s scrappie capris later tonight providing I am not exhausted from youth group. And hopefully I can start in on the waistband at least.

Amy, so glad you found me. I was about to pm you to let you know I am almost done. 
I am at about 6.5 inches inseam on both legs and am going to sit down and knit for another hour so should have another inch or 2 on that before going to bed. I will wash and block these and then get the address to ship them off to your friend. And of course, get some amazing pictures, the yarn is a dream to work with and I really am loving how they are turning out. It is so nice to be knitting a couple boyish items for a change. I love the ruffle free. LOL.

Carla’s shorts got shipped off today. And now I am chugging away on Amy’s longies. They are coming along really quickly and its nice to switch things up with some nice bulky weight yarn. I have the body completely done and have about 2 inches of the inseam done already as well. I am praying that everyone stays healthy enough for me to complete these by wednesday. I also got the scrappie yarn for Dehovlan’s capris, they should be a lot of fun to knit up. I have been really wanting to use some handspun, and now I get to.

She has been sick all day, and my husband is helping friends move so I am on my own. She is pretty much laying on me so I am not able to knit much at all. I am so close to be done with these shorts, so I am still hoping they will be done today, but hate to promise that they will be.

I am super tired today, my hubby works really late on thursdays so I don’t get a break until the kiddos are down for bed, which just occurred. I am making great progress on Carlas Wedgewood shorties. It is taking longer due to having to constantly switch yarns in order to avoid the pooling, but its coming along nicely. The waistband is done along with another 6 inches or so of the body. I am almost done with the rise and should be moving on to the crotch and the legs and finishing these up tomorrow. *crossfingers*
~Carla, I tried emailing you these pics to see what you thought, but it wouldn’t go through…. front/back

Just wanted to post with an update of the evenings work. I finished the rosewood patons longies for 3lildoodlebugs!!! I just need to weave in the ends tomorrow and do the tie cord. I will be starting Carla’s in the morning and as soon as the shorts get done its on to Amy’s longies. Hopefully I can get the shorts out by the weekend.

I got the ruffle done last night and am getting closer to the inseam and ruffle on the other side. I am hoping to finish these tonight, but thats probably a long shot. Here is a pic of the current progress.

I am a little behind since we had such a crazy weekend. My husband even had today off so we spent a lot of time hanging out at our local YMCA’s indoor pool. I am still chugging away on the Rosewood longies. I have the first leg inseam completed and am going to work on getting that ruffle done tonight. Tomorrow will be a little hectic as well since I have Bible Study in the morning and we are having our friends come play for a couple hours in the late afternoon.
