Here are the soakers for baby#6. I made them with old wool sweaters, I choose the softest wool I could find. Both are a merino/cashmere blend and they are super soft. I wish that I could find pink or white but this will work out just fine. I used another free pattern and they look big to me. I have wool left over so I think I will cut it down a bit and make another one. I like using the old sweaters. The ones we have been using for various things have come mostly from our little thrift shop in town. I got 6 lovely sweaters for 1.00 gotta love that!! This is a good way for me to get the soakers I need.. you see I am yarn impaired... I LOVE the look of knitted things and have tried on several occasions to knit or even crochet, but alas I end up frustrated. I just don't seem to get it, so for now we are having a blast with old sweaters. I have great plans in the works and have stared a bit on that rug. I am thrilled so far with my progress. I hope to get it done before the really cold weather sets in. Wood floors are awesome but a bit cold on the feet in the morning.....
