I am in love!

Naiad Longies With the Nirvana Worsted from Zen String :D

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.


Naiad Longies 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! :-D 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!
