    It's longies weather!

    Anyone else dusting off the needles and knitting ATM?

    I've started on a pair for Rubes I decided I liked the look of Ladybug Loops so bought the pattern.

    Maybe this will be my winter to actually finish something? I'm definitely knitting scarves for the boys...perhaps if I finish those, I will be inspired to do some longies...

    Can't wait to see your handiwork Sam!!

    I have dusted off my crochet hook to start making soakers for bubs (due in September)... I can't knit to save my life and haven't found any corchet patterns like look like I will be able to do them for longies... sent a few knitted longie patterns to my dear mum though

    Ohh Sam - Ladybug Loops look pretty - I will be watching this thread with eager anticipation to see how they turn out for you - I love that the one pattern has 8/10/12 ply variations - I have so many bits in my stash that are of the larger plys.

    There's a new pattern coming out soon with the yarn weights variations too - Looking Glass Longies by Kelly Brooker. I just knit a test pair for her and it's a fairly good pattern, uses provisional caston to avoid grafting the crotch - I don't mind grafting though (infact I quite like it).

    I've done a few pair of longies so far - even though we aren't using them ourselves anymore lol. I really enjoy knitting them, so now I have to just knit them for others.
