soakers

I did these this summer. using cyntergome's soaker pattern. with paton's classic wool.

The first one is dyed with kool-aid, and it's my first ever knitting project. I think I was supposed to use a size 5 needle, but I used a 5mm needle instead! It was massive--like it would fit a 6 year old or something. I felted it, and the rise is kinda low, but it's functional.

The second one I used the skull chart, here. At first I tried to do it intarsia-in-the-round, yikes. Frogged it, and knit in the round for the first 2-3 inches, and then did intarsia flat, but screwed up on the leg shaping, and frogged the entire thing. Finally did it with duplicate stitch.

The i-cords are tied on the hip, because DS pulls them off otherwise.
