And... done! (Braided Cable Longies)



It took me a few goes, but I figured out the cable I wanted. I posted an early WIP (work-in-progress) photo of these longies. The colors couldn't be more perfect. They match everything and look dressy and casual at the same time. I almost feel guilty using them because I know they are going to be felted in some places and pilly as all get out soon.



The patterning is interesting. It striped perfectly for the body, but I alternated skeins for the legs to combat pooling. The stripes look thinner in the body and thicker in the legs, which makes the braid look thicker in the legs.




Happy mommy. Cozy baby. =)
