Ok, well...im not really sure that these longies will be overly successful, but it is my first attempt after all. Ive finished one of the legs, just got to do the other one now. Theres still a circular needle in the unfinished leg in the pic just in case you were wondering what it was, oh & theres a baby in there too ;)So here is the list of problems im facing:
- There is a hole in the crotch on the completed leg side that i was holding out hope of just kinda hiding by tightening other stitches around it, but im not sure that will work
- i was only meant to have 38 stitches per leg but then it asked me to pick up one so i had 39 which i only realised half way down the leg so i decreased one stitch at some random point
- at the bottom your meant to do k2p2 ribbing but i dont have the right number of stitches to do it evenly so i just added on a 1/2 inch & left it at stockingette stitch so it can roll up a bit
- i obviously dont know how to cast off when knitting in the round cause it left a kinda funny bit at the end
- i didnt count my rows so the legs will probably end up different lengths
- i used 4mm needles to do the body bit & i just realised im using 3.75mm for the legs, .25mm cant make that much difference right?!?
- & last but not least the legs are kinda too skinny & the bum is kinda too fat
think thats it, apart from that everything is going quite well i think!
