KAL Drawz
I got the back panel done with the UT Longhorn in intarsia. I had to draw up the pattern on graph paper, because the only steer image I could find was huge and wouldn't have fit within my stitch count. I've started the right side in the orange. The two short row wedges are complete and it's stockinette for a while before the front fly shaping. I'm so happy with the way these are looking, I decided to keep them for myself and make my cousin a pair later. I got the yarn from my stash and didn't have enough of the KP Stroll tweed for the larger size, so I placed an order for a couple of more skeins this afternoon. I found out they are discontinuing the tweed Stroll and as luck would have it the only color they had left was the orange--it was meant to be! The variegated Schaeffer Yarn looks a little weird in the photos, but it looks great in person.

I love the color combo, and
I love the color combo, and the art work is great. I like this pattern, it has enough room on it to do some custom work to personlize the item. I know you will enjoy wearing these. I cant wait to see them modeled by you.

Mill,
Extra yarn for the larger size? Just how big... Longhorn... Oh, bother... As others have said, I can't wait to see you modeling them... I can see you now... shirtless and boxered.... Oops, I'm drooling a bit...
All kidding aside, they are turning out wonderfully! Very creative and the colors are absolutely beautiful!

in all honesty (and
in all honesty (and seriously!) just pick 2 colors and get knitting... the 2 colors I am using I don't love together... they're OK but not my fav... but it's the yarn I was given to do the project, so it's what I'm using... that's why i did the 2 row a'la Jared Flood stripes for the back panel - you can see it here:

I think the colors are working fine... and now that they're nearer to being done (I have to knit the fly and waistband and assemble! I'm liking them more and more..
if you're really unsure of color, pick a fun varigated for the back panel, waist band and fly and do a coordinating neutral solid for the body... you know how to do this :)
we have faith in you!!

So what you are trying to tell me is that my all of my 'bull crap' inspired you? Thanks a lot. I ain't feelin' real purdy right 'bout now.
No need to appologize! It's too late! My feelings, if I can find them, (I think I loaned them to a friend), have been irrepairbly trod upon like a fresh cowpatty before sunrise. Alas how can I possibly go on???? I can't, so I'll shut up.
Again good work there C*&#@$$,
