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.

Queuing up
I stopped by the fabric store to see if they had more of the dishtowels I’d need to resew H’s pants to a better size. Success!
I even found a pretty blue bali print that will work with the brown (a nearly-impossible one to find a good lining fabric for, it turns out).
I also found these fat quarters in the discount bin – such pretty stripes.
I’m thinking lining and patch pockets for a new pair of reversible spring overalls? After the success of the baptism outfit, I’m all gung-ho about sewing more overalls for him.
