HOT OFF THE NEEDLES

 HOT OFF THE NEEDLES and I am stoked!

Rocky joggers by Tin Can Knits; now all that’s missing is the diaper bum to put in these.

This was a surprisingly fast and fun knit.

A few steps when I veered off the instructions:

1) Cast on. Instead of a provisional cast on, I used two circular needles and cast on with Judy’s magic cast on , just like I do for toe-up socks.  This made it easier and quicker to work the joining round later.

2) I worked the increases M1L,…., M1R for the crotch.

3) I worked the two legs two at the same time.  Again, much as I do for socks, sleeves etc.

4) When I got to the ankle cuffs, I knitted one full round before continuing in a 1x1 ribbing.

5) Lastly instead of binding off loosely, I used Jenny’s stretchy bind off method.

This is such a fun knit, I am sure I will knit more of these.  TinCanKnits are one of my favorite patterns!
