I am in love!

With the Nirvana Worsted from Zen String 
It’s very soft, and knits up VERY nicely! I dyed the trim Wednesday night, and started these yesterday afternoon once it was dry – then I couldn’t stop knitting until I’d finished the first leg – I finished the second leg this morning 
Unfortunately, because of the guage I was getting with this yarn, in order to get enough room around the hips on DD, the curly purly waistband ended up quite a bit looser than on the soft spun shorties, so I added the “no strings attached” elastic to it – that was a little bit tedious, but I am happy with how it came out – and it’s a great way to fix knit woolens that won’t stay up when you’d rather not use a drawstring (DD pulls them out). I am knitting the next pair (in Lufaloo!) with an encased elastic waist.
I think DD likes them too. I also made her a matching hat with the leftover yarn, but I haven’t gotten a picture of it yet.

I love how those longies came out. And, of course, the model is adorable… She doesn’t look too happy that you are taking her picture, though!
I”m amazed how perfectly you matched the trim! It looks great.
How sad is it that I haven’t even started my first Zen String project, and you’re already half way through your yarn!
