Notes

11/13/2021

The planning stages took a bit but I think I have decided on colors and sequence! Going to finally cast on!

11/30/2021

OMG THEY ARE AMAZEBALLS!!! Not even close to finished and I am loving these. I think I’d prefer a little more negative ease for leggings but we’ll see what washing and drying does. Could be just a matter of blocking, if not then next time I should opt for more ease in my formula.

I already want to make a million more pairs, some as shorts. I think these will be a go to scrap buster for me….

12/16/2021

Okay, these are still amazeballs but I am going to have to rip back and make adjustments. This is most likely because I did not knit up an appropriately sized swatch. I think I am going to measure myself again to see if maybe I goofed there as well since the waist and most of the yoke fit well but the thighs are just so big. I am afraid washing and drying are not going to solve for the bagginess I have right now.

01/08/2022

Welp, I am starting over! If you decide to knit this pattern (and you should) please please PLEASE knit a large swatch. I have used what I have knit so far to recalculate my gauge and will be ripping back to the waistband. I cut the elastic to a good size and there is not much bunching over the casing so I will leave that as is and decrease out the extra stitches and restart from there.

10/30/2022

Knit legs to about 24.5” before doing 3” of ribbing. Plan to throw them in the washer/dryer so we will see how much they shrink up in length.
