Twisty Baby Pants

I. LOVE. THESE. PANTS!  I have been looking for a knit pant pattern for while, but hadn't run across anything that I felt like I couldn't live without.  That was until I ran across the Leap Frog pattern from Petite Purls.  It helps that all the patterns on that website are free too.  ;)  I think one of my favorite things about the pattern is it knits in room for cloth diapers, so you knit in some short rows in the behind region to make the back of the pants taller than the front, so then there's plenty of room for a diaper, but you aren't all bunchy in the front.  Love it!!  And who doesn't love the really cute braided cable that runs down the legs??  I think I know how I'll be making my kid's Christmas jammies this year!

Robin Hood Jacket

I finished this robin hood jacket up a couple weeks ago, but waited to post it because I know my friend Sabrina looks at Knit Wits every once in awhile, and her baby shower wasn't until today.  The jacket took me a big longer than I thought it would, but I love it so much I'm thinking of starting some for both of my kids for Christmas.  I love how all the cables turned out!
