When I first started cloth diapering I learned about wool. People use it as a cover over their diapers because it is 1. natural 2. can absorb up to 30% over its weight in moisture 3. when used with lanolin, it is moisture-repellent 4. breathable and 5. anti-bacterial. So it is ideal for a diaper cover in that it doesn't keep heat and moisture in close to baby's skin. During the day we mostly use gdiapers with hemp but at night we usually use a fitted cloth diaper with a wool cover over. Wool can be VERY expensive. I'm not kidding when I say one pair of pants can cost close to and over $100 (
example). For a baby. That poops in it. Not worth it to me. I know how to crochet so I decided to try to make my own for Boozle. Little did I know I crochet very very tight so the 6-12 month size wasn't going to fit him. Not even close. I was disappointed and for some reason put them away and never made another pair.
Today I remembered them and dug them out of the box and tried them on L:
A perfect fit! I just love them. And I love that you can turn a piece of string into pants. Who came up with this? It's amazing. I also recently learned to knit and am working on my first project. It also is the perfect end of every day. Sitting with my needles and ball of yarn and chatting with T is heaven. I think I'll be a good grandma someday. :)
And just because it's darling, Boozle loves to pull out all his books and read them to himself multiple times each day. He'll pull a book out, look at its cover, and then excitedly say which book it is and open it to read. He'll say a few words here and there as he turns the pages.
