Love the shorties! I'm about to make my first pair using the picky pants pattern. I'm wondering how you made the drawstring...is it finger knitting? I dread the i-cord and know I'd never finish one, but this one doesn't look like i-cord.....And by the way, I think that peachy-pink/orange would be lovely for longies on L. Who knows what colors he'll like, right? My son definitely loves that combo....

Hoping your son is better soon and that you move closer to the balance that you are seeking.
