Old, New Pants

I started knitting these pants two years ago for my older daughter. I got to the point where one leg was left to knit and I stopped. Can't remember why, maybe she got too big for them or maybe spring came. Anyhow, I picked them up again last winter thinking they would be good for kiddo number two. Again I stopped before they were finished. Well I rediscovered them this past week and three is a charm because they are being worn! I found them with a third of a knit icord. I figured if I waited until I finished the icord they would never actually get onto said kiddo's bottom. So a piece of cotton ribbon with have to suffice until I can get around to it.
