And now something basic

After finishing the cabled vest (which I still need to block and take photos of!), I was in the mood for something stockinette from the stash. Since pants have been the weak link for us recently, I found a pattern on ravelry for long-legged soakers that also worked as pants. The yarn is Plymouth Encore left over from a hat that I made for Kevin years ago.

The rounds are long, but between the short rows every 7 rows and the stripes every 15, there’s enough to keep it interesting. I had to stop and measure them to make sure they’ll fit – they seemed enormous, but the tape measure says they’re perfect.
