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.

You'd be amazed at how much yarn some tiny things can take. It'll be nice to get those cute little jeans started, won't it?? I just placed an order with Knit Picks for some of their Main Line yarn - cotton/merino blend - for a sweater for my older daughter. She's been chomping at the bit for me to make her this sweater - a Knit Picks pattern for a long-sleeved top - for a while now, so I made an executive decision on the color for her; I hope she likes it g I also recently placed an order with The Loopy Ewe for some Supersock in a nice green and some laceweight - Capellini by Chewy Spaghetti, a yummy merino/silk blend - in color Sullen (no, not a commentary on my mood when I ordered it, but a nice variegated blue). I was quite pleased when my order arrived 2 days after I placed it. They will definitely be getting more business from me with service like that. The Other Kim kimagreenfieldatyahoodotcom |

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.
