About 2 weeks ago, when the weather started to get warmer, I realized that DS would need some wool shorts for the spring/summer...so I decided I better knit some up for him.

Here's what I've gotten done, so far.

Vroom on Cestari w/ Half-Linen cuffs


A few with Paton's




Again, w/ Paton's, but with a little owl detail (my first experience w/ cables)




Some Fisherman's hand-dyed by me, done w/ a basket weave cuff


Alpine Wool w/ a little star design on the leg


Hand-dyed yarn from my LYS


Left-over "trim" wool from Spotz's "Christmas in July" colorway on Cestari (trimmed with some Kool-ade dyed Fisherman's wool, done by me) worked up with some purly, garter stitch and seed stitch detail


And, still left to do, I have some Crayon Etchings w/ black trim to finish...and some yarn I just scored to round out his momma made stash. (Along with a few GN pairs his sister wore from FSOT several years ago, that will fit him.

Smile
Thanks for looking.

good for you getting such a big stash done! They're all great too. All I have for DD's wool stash is 1 pair of shorties (from last year) and a soaker that has just the waist done lol3
