This soaker is made from some very soft roving-type wool. The pinks are great in person.

Some fun lanolin soap in the shape of a sheep. I used a new recipe and a new sheep shape mold this time. Fun! I can only make one at a time this way, but still so cute and worth it! (This soap is great to wash wool items with.)

The pictures tell this one. I LOVE how it turned out!!

It's been a while...this soaker is made from a brown tweedy yarn from knitpicks. It has a variegated strand running through the yarn. Much prettier in person, and more boyish that what we have already knitted up here. Can you believe he was down to only one fitting soaker!? As if I've not made enough of them!

Side note: Have you tried the coconut M&M's? I'm not usually a fan of m's in general, but those coconut ones are amazing!!

Another infant soaker sack. This is a yarn dyed by me long ago. It is very obvious where I changed needle brands towards the bottom. I really like those Addi Turbos! I just don't have any of my own. Thank you to a very kind Marilyn for letting me borrow hers for a hat project! I may finish the hat and try to squeeze in one more of these sacks before I return them.

Another soaker. This one is mosaic knit in a pattern I made up myself. Which is why there are many, many mistakes. My photography is not great which is why you can't see the very fun hot pink and black combination that I fell in love with.

Stripey wool shorties. I love using Peace Fleece for these. It works up so well. I had fun with the stripes too! These are made from the Belladonna Designs Pattern. Great customer service and a super price for the pattern! The side view shows the short rows to make space for a diaper bum.

A "soaker sack". They are both the same item, but one shows the hot pink/black color combo better. This is for when babies are so small you don't want to wriggle skinny legs into soaker leg holes.

Remember that yarn I dyed from leftover Easter egg coloring? Here it is knitted. Very tiny.

Another. This is a pretty color blue yarn.

A couple of soakers. I made the smaller one for a baby that was soon to be born. When he was born, he was almost 11 pounds! I had to make the second since the first wouldn't likely fit. (By the way: The baby was born to a mom I know, totally natural, no drugs, no repairs, out-of-hospital, and totally healthy)

Here is some I dyed, worked into a soaker.

Much darker colors in real life.

Both of these are dyed by me. Oddly, these both photographed better than they look in real life.

Yep, you guessed it. I tried a different waistband on this one, still tweaking. Yarn was hand-dyed by me. The colors are really beautiful.

Here are some 'shorties'. They are soaker type shorts. I have included an enclosed elastic waist, crotch gusset, and rear short rows. Can you tell they are for a boy? Yarn dyed by me.

Not a soaker! Shorts. Can you see the pattern? Hopefully. The leaf lace pattern is just great. There is also a 'pouch' for the diaper butt. I really liked making these! I will make more- maybe pants. Yarn dyed by me. Pattern written by adorabubbleknits.

Yep, you guessed it. Believe it or not, these are starting to slow down a bit. (maybe) Hand dyed by me- purple is very pale.

An oldie. This triangle was once intended to be a soaker. I learned a valuable lesson in yarn quality and felting instead.

Yep, you guessed it! Another soaker! This is some very pretty colorful yarn that I picked up at a store called Pat Catan's near Akron, OH. 2 ply and so soft but only $1 a ball! What a find!!
