Marlene - Felting is when the wool gets shrunk and cant be stretched. Drying in full sun or in the dryer can cause it. You can tell by looking at it if it was a hand knit because you can see where the fibres have joined and melted.

Well I went on Ebay and used some of my non-budget $$ (not much ) and now I have a wrap sling (Like a HAB but cheaper) on the way for Leah!! I got black so DH will wear it but that provides the more stable even wear for steadiness and holds her closer if I am still using the frame in the early days. I hope it arrives before Monday!!

Mum hasn't said anything about the nappies and has washed them and helped me put them together. I think that she understands that we can't really afford to be buying sposies, especially when we don't really need them, and can now finally see that they really aren't that much work. She washes them more regularly than DH though, so they are only getting half loads, because she doesn't like the wee smell (there is a nappy bucket not even being used!!).

CM - You can pop around any time for knitting help hun. You knitting too is inspiring me to keep going.

BG - Sounds like most NB's with nappy changes Great to hear eveything she has worn so far suits her!!
