    Oh yeah - from when I saw my first pair of bamboo socks a couple years ago, I've been fascinated with the stuff. I recently found a great website (not sure about posting links, so I won't) in the US that sells beautiful bamboo stretch knit, and have made what will hopefully be a serviceable maternity dress for winter out of it - and I'll be making a summer one later in the year!

    Such a great fabric - and SO sustainable and healthy etc. Yay for bamboo!!

    i put the bamboo to the test and all weekend lived in it doing lots of physical housework work and it doesn't smell at all and was soooo sooo warm and soft and comfy.

    i must look out for those socks too sound so snuggly!

    i had a bit of a look on the weekend and couldn't find them here. I will have to keep looking, I think. I certainly hope they do have them here in Sydney!

    Check out TSL if there's one near you (the big stores with heaps of discounted Bonds stuff). I was in the one in Brighton on the weekend and they had a whole range of stuff!
