Happy knitting Eugenia. Someone i know, who has not knitted before, just taught herself to knit (using some knitting tutor on youtube i think) and the first thing she made was a pair of shorties, using the Ladybugs Loops pattern. You buy it from the LL store at minicuteture apparently. but she said it's over 30 pages long, really well explained - unlike lots of other patterns that are very brief - cos they assume you know wot you're doing (like a beginner definately does NOT know wot they are doing). so i thought that sounded like a really good pattern. she posted pics of her DD wearing the shorties - beautiful shorties.:
How many kilos is your DD, for you to say she is needing XL nappies, i thought you had a newborn? My child has just started wearing the large sized swaddlebees, they go until 17kg. I've wondered what i will put on her once she's grown out of her current mcn - they all go to 16 or 17kg.
i've done googling before, to find people larger size nappies, but you're right, i don't think ANY of those types were SS narrow crotch style.
i've thought it through for night nappies though, i will get a custom XL KK AIO for the night nappies. that is a highly adjustble front snapper, unusual snaps formation.
RAYRAY - why loops are usedful on a wetbag?
i don't loop them onto a pram or anything, but maybe mums who walk the pram around the block might do that, only carrying few nappies. Esp at nb stage when bilby was horizontal in the pram, adn i coudln't physiclly get to the basket underneath, that COULD have been an option.
i hang them up in bilby's nursery, so i know where they are
i hang them up to dry on the clothes horse
the wet bags without loops really annoy me. i just like to pick it up by the loop.
when bilby and i go out, i put the empty wetbag (at start of outing) in a nappy bag compartment. i never go out with JUST the wetbag, it's always a car ride if i go anywhere.
if you want MORE wetbags to look up, there are the Leslie Boutique ones at baby softlandings, the Little things wetbags at nurturenappies, blueberry ones at baby blossom, monkey doodles ones, i think at darlingsdownunder.
SUSE - sorry my confused brain thought you had a honeyboy, sorry you're still in the land of the big snot, hands you a hot lemon and honey drink.
anyone still after a 2009 ANN calendar (aust nappy network), i saw them for just under $13 at berry baby.
i bought a Wee Friend at Caluna loves - it's a sticker you put on the bottom of the potty bowl, when child wees, the sticker changes from being black, to being a smiley critter (for a few minutes). something to motivate bilby to wee in the potty.
Maz - i FINALLY did see the size 2 bonds hipsters at a woollies tonight - purple and everythang. and - they're a bit gapey at the waist (hides). i'm gonna wash them on HOT and hope they shrink a bit.
i'm starting to think bilby needs knickers with button hole elastic in them! so i can adjust them for her.
Tan, there is an art (tricks) to stuffing The Pocket Nappy well, i will tell you if you want to know. (cos mcn people educated me how to do it about 18 months ago). everything is easy - once you know how LOL. It will take your mind off your dh abandoning, i mean travelling away from you. Think of all the lovely dutyfree stuff he will bring back for you! and absence makes the heart ..........:kissing:
off to bed for this tired mummy
I hope you are in bed Maz, and not still sewing! you must sew in your sleep woman!
