a little knitting

There’s a little nesting going on around here.  These adorable knit trousers caught my eye and I thought they’d be perfect for a sweet chubalub next fall and winter!  I loved the added texture of just a few rows of seed stitch…not so much that it takes twice as long to knit, but enough for interest and my tactile pleasure.  Loved this free pattern- check out my Ravelry page for details. And I almost managed to make them out of some stash wool I had- until the last half a leg.  Which means I now have enough for a matchy sweater- or another pair!  I can’t wait to see them on our little one’s bottom.
