I can't wait to see the finished jeans. I had thought about making that particular pattern a while back, but I knew that I wouldn't have them finished before my youngest outgrew them! :-) I'm curious to know what the yarn is like, since the pattern says that it fades like denim jeans do with washing and wear.

Melinda, Please send a pic! Uh, I will see what I can do. I'm pretty graphically-challenged and photography-challenged as well. But my son has a digital camera. -- Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it. Autograph your work with excellence. |

It's 100% cotton yarn that evidently is designed to shrink JUST like blue jeans. But at roughly $6 for a 50-gram skein, you probably don't want to knit yourself blue jeans with it LOL. -- Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it.

And it's just a little pair of baby jeans *shrug*. -- Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it. Autograph your work with excellence. |
