I am learning to knit.....well if you could call it that, I went and visited my bestfreinds MIL and she taught me how to cast on and do a basic stitch and it took all day I am so uncordianated, but she said to find a pattern or take my longies over to her and she will make them for me.......yeah.
Yeah I'd love to know how small Bubblebubs go too!
I've got a some Monkey Doodlez, reckon they tend to size a little large, are pretty good, most comparable with Magicalls, except I don't have the diggy inny elastic problem with MD's. Pretty easy to boost if you need a bit more performance from them too.
For those who know Cat, she had her baby this morning!! Her sis came bouncing up to me at church today to tell me she had a little girl! I *think* the name is something like Seree. I think. Like Sherie kinda. Can't remember the middle name. Sorry! We were pretty late for church, so it was a quick conversation. :P
Si leaked a bit at church this morning...not pointing any fingers, but I didn't do the nappy change before, and I suspect the cover tightness might have been a bit suss...
I went to church this morning & found the young mum who I gave the cloth nappies too has had a rough trot with her husband having a fall off a cliff (yeah... off a huge cliff) DH said "thankfully you gave her some nappies so she doesn't have to run out anywhere... but I couldn't leave it there. I just felt for them too much & have made them enough food to survive a month I hope they take it.... I barely know them. I'll have to drop it & run and hope no one gets the plates off the car
WARNING!! Who bought the rainbow Llamajama Longies? I washed mine today & the red RUNS BIG TIME! I'm actually a little disappointed & wondering if I should contact the store because being longies I hand washed them as you do, rinsed them till no more red was running out then soaked them in the lanoline & when I got them out the water they were soaking in was dark red, so now of course overall the longies are not as vibrant in the other "rainbow" of colours.
FJ........I brought the rainbow ones too, mine should arrive tommorow. Maybe I should send them straight back and swap for some others??? I was so looking forward to them they are so cute.
thanks sez!! i need to change my ticker as scan on saturday put me two days back- to the 17th feb, so 12 weeks tomorrow!! scan was all good, just the one bubba! h/b was 164 all good so far!!
Jols - glad to hear the scan is all good Congrats!
Janie - yeah - the colour buttong wasn't working!! I didnt recognise my posts either lol
Well teh Bepanthen is doing wonders! the bleeding bit is all but healed now, so no more blood! and she seems much happier today too so hopefully will be out of sposies by tomorrow YAY!
Aside that, no nappy news here.
Well after a mental review of my latest spendings I am now offically on a nappy buying BAN!
Swaps are still ok LOL but no more nappy's or Materials to make nappies for at least 3 months!

KATONES
woolies (soakers, shorties, longies)
and flongies (fleece long pants)
can ALL be worn, over FITTED nappies.
FItted nappies are entirely made out of absorbent material, no waterproof outer.
AIO's and pockets generally have a waterproof outer, so if you put longies or flongies over those, you're using them as a clothing item, not a waterproofing item.
Longies - long pants made out of wool. You lanolise them to make them waterproof. SOme people handwash wool, many makers especially recommend this. SOme people machine wash (on the VERY GENTLE WOOL CYCLE ON COOL) the longies, then use spray lanolin to make them waterproof.
Flongies - long pants made out of polar fleece, with a hidden layer of microfleece (in some brands, it's a hidden SHORTS layer, others use a hidden SLING layer. THe fleece is the waterproof barrier. These can be washed in the sewing machine.
Both options, longies or flongies make great pj bottom substitutes.
hth Katones.
