Wool Soakers. Part Two
I am very startled to report that the soaker actually fits the baby.
I am not the sort of person that sits down and wips up a cute little thing that looks and functions exactly as intended, let me tell ya. So while I should probably be excited, I am mostly just surprised, and secretly waiting for something to go terribly wrong. Which it did, as soon as Micah pee-peed. Nothing horrible, but the soaker definitely leaked. However, I was sort of expecting that, since I was pretty sure I hadn’t washed it right the first time.
So I rewashed it, making sure to put in extra Lanolin and let it soak for awhile. Let it dry all over again, and put it back on the baby. And it worked! I am amazed. The crocheting certainly isn’t air-tight, but it really doesn’t leak.
It lasted a good couple of hours, including a trip to the neighbor’s. I am planning to try it in the car tonight, and if I get really brave, overnight. And, I already ordered more yarn. In a couple of different colors. In softer yarn, which I am excited about. And I started a pair of shorties, for Chava.
