Soaker

[norsegirl]

To all that asked, this is a soaker:



It does not fit terribly well. I made it way too large, tried to felt it down and while that worked for most of it, the legs are still really large. I might try to put elastic or a dart in them. Or I might just not worry about it, we'll see. In that picture she was just trying it on over her clothes.

I made another one on smaller needles and the results are here:





As you can see, it fits a little better but is still not maybe as tight as it should be (which is fine as I was aiming for it to fit for Pennsic). She's actually wearing it as a diaper cover right now. She's been up napping for a bit so it's time to check and see if it actually performs well as a diaper cover or if those hippies that use wool are just on crack. (she's sleeping on a waterproof mattress pad, so now was the perfect time to check)

I've also knitted another one based on a different pattern and I'm nearing completion on that one, so we'll see how that behaves.

Off to see how G is doing...

looks okay. not sure what i was expecting, but it makes sense visually now :) G certainly doesn't seem to mind it. how much heat does it add though? i know wool breathes, but it also insulates... ho does that factor into her comfort zone?

She didn't seem uncomfortable. It is just wool undies, not a full wool suit. She napped well in it at least. Didn't wake up for a full hour.

Did it work?

The jury's still out on that one. I had her in it for 2 changes (4 hours altogether) and she hardly peed enough to dampen the diaper, so I have no idea whether it would have leaked or not. I'll try again another day.
