Wouldn't it make them less elastic? The plain knit ones seem to work well for me, except when babywearing (compression leaks). I have to treat them with lanolin occasionally but that's all.<br /><br />Yes... it's crazy she's walking. Silly girl :) Emily, my MIL bought us the car for Christmas. LOL she had to search high and low for a gift because I have a firm "no batteries" rule in this house.Jenny P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08782928646278570671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659480877314850787.post-21586020989832249302012-04-02T16:49:41.303-05:002012-04-02T16:49:41.303-05:00They're so cute!

I felted it a little and it's working great alongside the other 3 soakers I have, which are made of the exact same yarn you used for Grace's. For this new one, I used Paton's classic wool. I liked it a bit better. It is softer and I think it has more give and knits up to be a little more elastic. I have another skein of the Paton's in a fun green with plans to do shorts out of it. I haven't even started them, though, because my hands are perpetually full of baby or housework. I want to asap, so he can have it for hot weather. I like wool in hot weather. It seems to make their little bottoms less sweaty.<br /><br />I can hardly believe Gracie is walking! It seems to me she was just born yesterday. Henry has that same car. He asks constantly to have it put up or put down. It drives me nuts.:)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117120475033380036noreply@blogger.com
