Skirty
|
Category: Family
Now that the present has been given, I’d like to share my latest knitting triumph…the Skirty.
Pattern: Shorts & Pants by Belladona Designs (Ravelry), size small
Yarn: Lion Brand Fisherman’s wool, handdyed with Kool-Aid and Coffee
This serves as a dual purpose skirt and diaper cover. Diaper cover you ask? Yes. Wool makes an excellent choice for a cloth diaper cover because of its antibacterial properties and ability to absorb, yet stay dry to the touch. You do have to treat the wool with lanolin to make it work properly, but my friends who use cloth diapers tell me that these are the best for night time wetters. I might make a few for miss Madeline who is constantly peeing out of her diapers at night time.. (No we don’t use cloth…and I refuse to buy size 6’s.)

That is adorable!! The skirt is cute on its own, but I LOVE the little pants! Who was the lucky recipient?

So cute. I’m so falling behind on the knitting. Too much school work, and it is even summer!

As a mother of a little girl myself, I personally vouch for the “wonderfulness” of the skort. To be honest, I like skorts for myself, but for little girls, they just can’t be beat!

So cute!! you should try the wool on Mads, it totally works! (I’m just too cheap and Jason makes fun of the poor boys in their ‘wooly pants’)
