Here are a couple of pics of my finished longies, which I lanolized and put on Leo tonight on top of a Bitti Boo fitted. They look so cute on and were dead easy to knit - I've even bought some more wool to make another pair! 
Vic xx p.s. I'm not very good at attaching photos so please let me know if you can't see the pics.

I used Cleckheaton Country Colours - it's a blend of navy, brown & grey. I've just bought some more of the same wool but in a blend of greens & navy. It's not cheap ($6.50 per ball!  ) but it's such lovely wool and the colours are gorgeous.

I used bought 4 balls to make the large size and used nearly all of it (2 balls per leg, 1 ball in the first 80 rows up to your stitch markers). It was nice to get to the end and not have any wool wasted!

That's only $26 of wool NZpiper! Longies are more like $40 esp in toddler size. Tom might need less wool at his size anyway? -------------
