first diaper "soaker" (cover)...


this turned out really cute, and i even impressed my hubby! this is the first item i have knitted that wasn't a scarf or throw or something else shaped as a rectangle or square. i found the pattern at ottobre design. if you link on their "print for free" tab, you'll find it there among a bunch of other cool stuff, but here's their direct link to the pattern.

i have wool/soy blend yarn that i'm going to try next. i've been told that acrylic will work, but that 100% wool is best. other people say that wool blends work well too. i have no idea, so i won't know until i try.

next up...the ottebre cloth diaper and teddy bear rattle. i'll be modifying the diaper by not using velcro closures, but pins or snappis, but i'm certain it will turn out cute because i'm using an old t-shirt and putting the picture on the bum of the diaper! stay tuned...
