Update

This was meant to post several days ago, but it didn't, so I'm taking care of it now.

Life has been hectic, so not much in the way of knitting news. My hba2c failed :( I ended up with my 3rd c-section, recovery was kinda rough, had thrush, then mastitis. I am feeling pretty normal now, so hopefully I'll be able to get going on a couple projects again soon. I have a pair of socks currently hanging in limbo; should finish those.

The wool soakers I made for my baby work great! I am very pleased with how well they work. The soakers and longies only fit him for a couple weeks though (he was 9lbs 3oz at birth). The wrap style and the shorties still fit, though I use them mostly at night (use mostly pocket diapers during the day). I hope to make some larger soakers for him and maybe a couple longies. I don't have money for more yarn at the moment, so will be stripping the lanolin out and frogging the things that are too small for him. Kinda sad about that, but at the same time I'm excited to have the yarn available to reknit them in a usable size.

I haven't been posting because my computer took a huge dump on me. I am going to try to post from the app on my phone more, even though it is a slightly painful process. I haven't been able to figure out why I can't post comments from my phone either. I can get part of a comment typed then it sort of freezes and no more text will enter in. I haven't been ignoring comments! I just can't make my phone work right (it does it on both the app and in the browser).

The plan is to train myself to post more often, but keep it short. We'll see how that goes, lol

Some pics of woollies on my baby boy :)

This pair is one of the first soakers I made, the cheeky soaker. He is about 2 weeks old here.

These are the go-veralls, he wore this to his 2 week check up. They are tight, but still fit okay at 2 months old.

These are the larger sized shorties. They come up past his belly button, and the legs are just a bit short for pants. They work awesome and will fit him for a long time. He was a week old here (seriously, I don't were stretchy pants ALL the time ;).

Striped longies here, and oftly small in the rise and waist. I had a hard time getting them on him at about 3 weeks, it was the only time he wore them :( too bad, because they are cute.

Here is the pinkgreen tie wrap. My husband really likes this soaker, and it works great. I don't care for it so much. It is hard to get on snugly enough on a squirmy (or angry) baby, and you have to lift the baby up some to wrap the ties around the back. I just find it a hassle comparied to the pull up kind, though you can get a really good fit.

I don't think I posted about this project, but it is the "Rhino Romper" from revelry.com. Fun knit, great fit, cute, handy buttons so you don't have to completely take it off for every diaper change. Baby is about 6 weeks old here, and the fit is getting snug, I hope to make another one in a larger size eventually. It is a really adorable outfit. Next time I make one, I will post about the process.
