A Pair of Little Longies

I purchased this awesome OOAK colorway from Tree Frog Knits and I thought they would make a sweet pair of longies. Boy was I right! I had no one to make them for in particular but either I will hold on to them until either I have a little one or until a friend or family member has someone to wear them. Or perhaps if I ever get enough knits together to open a shop on say Hyena Cart or for a craft show. Who knows. They will find the right owner in due time.

I just love the way that it knit up and the colors look so neat together. I don't know if I would have ever thought to combine all those colors but I am sure glad someone did! I still have some left over, probably plenty enough to make a hat. I am thinking a Hudson Hat. Hopefully that will come soon!

Brown Owls Longies

The Brown Owls longies are finished!!! Cannot wait to see Nicholas wear these this coming weekend. Pictures of him sporting them will get posted soon. The longies were made using Julibeans "Brown Owls" on BFL Aran yarn. It knit up like a dream and is so incredibly soft!

Chick-A-Dee Grayson

Last night I received these photos of Gracie modeling her longies and hat. I am sure you will all agree that she is absolutely adorable! Plus her mommy is such a wonderful photographer! Check out her work here at Ashley Morgan Photography. I couldn't be more pleased with the way these longies and hat turned out!

Yarn is Family Roots "Grapefruit Love" on Willow Merino.

A Finished Set

Grayson's longies and hat are finished! This custom set was so much fun to knit. A friend of mine had me knit these for her little girl, Grayson, who is one of the most beautiful little girls I have ever seen. The set is knit up in Family Roots "Grapefruit Love" on Willow Merino. It was a joy to knit up and is so soft. The colorway is absolutely lovely and such a pretty girly combination. I cannot wait to see Gracie in this set (pictures of that coming soon!)

Nurturing Threads "Wizard" Longies

Little Woolies

This year for Christmas I decided to make my nieces and nephews each something knitted. The youngest ones all got longies and hats. It was absolutely adorable to see them get so excited over an article of clothing. Both of my nieces wanted their longies on right away. Over the course of the next few days after Christmas, my niece, Addison, countinually asked me if she could wear her knitted pants. It made my heart melt!


Three pairs of longies included: (1)Mosaic Moon "Nairne" (2) Nurturing Threads "Wizard" and (3) Laines Magnifique "Eurobirds"

MM "Nairne" for Hannah

LM "Eurobirds" for Addison

NT "Wizard" for Zachary
