Candice, I've finished!!! I posted a piccie in your thread on Woolaholics.
Feedback for the last part: I think there is a typo for the leg length comments, you wrote this (or personal deisred length of shorties less aprox 3cm)for every different leg option.
easily
Leg length for my 10 month old DD in a medium was 21cm total including the cuff (18.5cm to start of cuff). And this is a little long for growth.
There are also a few spelling errors but I'm sure you will pick these up once it is in a word processing program. Sorry, that was the teacher in me aching for my little red pen LOL
BTW the crotch on these longies is fantastic! I'm still not happy with my CO on the waistband though so will probably knit that from a cast on edge and kitchener st it together with the body.
Candice after you pick yourself up off the floor from shock... I have posted some photos over on my blog.
Thanks so much for allowing me to knit them. I enjoyed the journey learning how to knit soakers.
Kathok did offer more advice than me....only due to the fact I hadn't knitted them before this time.
Oh yeah the crotch sits lovely on my teddy;)
