I finished these during our vacation and my girl and I took to the beach so that L1 could get some shots of us together in them. Though I think hers are far cuter than mine, I’m not sorry I made them.
Stats (for the interested):
Pattern: Unmentionables by Lee Wood Juvan
Yarn: Cotton Fleece in Nymph, 4 skeins
Modifications: Knitted to lace first, then up.
Wishing they were longer. . . I might make them again some day, perhaps in the same yarn I used for L4’s pair. I might also like to make the entire flare portion in lace, as I have seen some done on Ravelry. I will probably also put some elastic in the waistband for mine and my girl’s. First I have to unpack them from the last remaining suitcase. Meanwhile, I can enjoy the sunshine evident in the pictures–and that is completely lacking here at home.
They are absolutely ADORABLE!
I have a friend who lives in upstate Manhattan (aka Inwood) who has consistently downplayed the weather they’ve had compared to our summer here. I take a small bit of gleeful, and decidedly un-love-thy-neighbor-ly satisfaction in knowing that she’s spending this past week and the next in the middle of the Adirondacks. :snort: Welcome to upstate NY! And welcome home to you!
Those are CUTE! I love the blue. I wouldn’t change a thing. Although the whole bottom in lace would be super cute too. The color on your dd’s is beautiful as well. I am in awe of knitting mamas. Just in awe.

Wow! They look great, you & L4 look so cute, I have some cotton fleece I am digging out of my stash! I must make some….great colors….
