Knitting up a storm!

I really should come on here and update more regulary. Ive been making lots of stuff but have been too busy knititng to take photos and share with you! Ive been kniting so much that my index finger on my right hand split yesterday because it had been over worked! hehe but i soldiered on.


Here are my first attempts at knitting longies.

The first ones are from my TNN Yarn Swap yarn, moddeled by Flynn. I used the "Picky Pants" Pattern on Circs



These second nes were for a 1st Birthday swap i took part in with some online friends. Picky Pants pattern again but this time with Gabes ruffle on the bottom, The Wool Companys "Gelato" yarn.
