1st wool soaker
This is for Erika on SM (bugz*n*beans) for her new baby Faith.



I used the free Curly Purly pattern (totally rocks, IMO) and knitted it in just 3 days. It was a great learning experience because I learned how to Kitchener graft and pick up stitches for cuffs. Now a top down raglan doesn't seem so scary.

TFL!

Erin,
That came out great! I will have to check out the pattern as I have yet to knit a soaker and my daughter is already 20 months....eeekkk- is it circular needles?

Warm wishes,
Tonya

Paton's Classic Merino (worsted) in Winter White. Bought it with my 40% off coupon at AC Moore so it cost me a whopping $3.00

Cute! I have yet to knit a soaker either, but I want to for winter. I crocheted some longies a few weeks ago and I want to do a soaker before I try to knit a pair of longies. I'll have to try that pattern.

Gorgeous! I love that pattern. It reminds me of an Aristocrat.

The Patons is 100% wool? Dang, I wish we had an AC Moore around here!

That is a cool soaker..I want to make one of those kind for my DD too. Thanks for the link! Looks like a good one to try a pattern on the back like Amy's (Crankymama)..
