Blue Jean Knitting Project

I found these knitted jeans on Knitty.com. They were in the Winter 2005 catalog. So, this is my next project. I don't have the blue jean yarn yet but I am hoping to get some soon. In the meantime, I am knitting them with some yarn I already have. I think this will be good for me since it will give me a "practice" run first too.

Here are pix from the Knitty website:

 

he has his little claws dug in to this blanket!!!! lol!

 

I think he was thinking he could run away with it!!

 

Ethan did not want to let go of the blanket! Oh my goodness. I didnt think I was going to be able to send it to my friends son!!!

 

last shot of the blanket!

 

a different angle. any advice is welcome!

Turtle Blanket is finally finished!

 

Oh my goodness this took me forever. Not b/c its hard but b/c it took me forever to complete. I am not entirely happy w/ it, as the joining could have been done better. Live and learn. I hope the next one is better. But it will be awhile before I do a next one! lol!
