Longies

It's about 70 degrees today, which means it's Winter here in Texas! Yeehaw! Just kiddin'... but it is really winter and I've been working on a pair of longies for John.

I completed them over Thanksgiving, but I just recently got them on him. I used the pattern with "I love this wool" from Hobby Lobby on size 7 needles. I wouldn't say it was a quick knit, but it was fun. And a great project to do while watching tv!

For those of you who I lost at "longies" ... Longies are basically a wool diaper cover that doubles a pants. You put the cloth diaper on the baby and then the longies are water proof so they don't get everything soaked. I've put a onesie on over his longies (it makes them look more like baby legs) or just a shirt on him, but either way I go he's super cute! The extra layer is nice during his naps. His room gets really cold and I usually layer him up for naps & night time.

Okay... here's some pictures of Mr. Cuteness...
