Found His Mittens

three little kittens, they lost their mittens...

Wool Soaker

I’ve just discovered wool soakers. Babies wear them over cloth diapers for protection. Wool is breathable, so is good in both warm and cool weather. I still have my doubts over just how wonderful they are, but maybe I’ll find out. Here’s my first one, made with one skein of Cascade 220 gray. I used the entire ball, almost, and this was a size large, from the Little Turtle Knits pattern.  It’s sized to fit a 12-24 month baby, although it looks a bit big to me.  But then the diaper fits underneath and that might take a lot of room.

I also learned how to make a paper crane today.
