More Crochet Soakers!! Little Fire Crochet Pants!!

I crocheted 2 more crochets for Lukie, the blue one is as same as the green one I did.  This time I used Stitch Nation 100% wool, love the color selections of this line, easy to work with.  However, after Lukie wore it once, it becomes very fuzzy!! 

And the 2nd one is new style "Little Fire Crochet Pants", it is more like a shorts, the pattern is to make long pants, but I think it is too hot for that.  I made it shorter, it looks super adorable.   I used Lion Brand Fisherman Wool, love the color, but it is not as soft as Patons, I am not sure that I love it or not.

Star Trek Woolie Soaker

Star Trek soaker for Lukie.  First I crocheted this soaker, I didn't plan to do Star Trek, I found the red yarn from my stash.  After I finished the main body, it looked too girly for him.  Then my husband was watching Star Trek, it inspired me to make it Star Trek Soaker.






And this soaker makes it to GeekCrafts.com.

Another Katrina's Sew Easy Soaker

I just sewed another Katrina's Sew Easy Soaker 2 days ago, I bought some Blazzard Fleece from JoAnn, it was 50% off.  It turns out very cute, but I don't think the fleece is the right type of fleece, it seems too thin.  And I ordered some Malden Mills Fleece, it is waterproof, and everyone recommended it, I can't wait to get it.

First Fleece Soaker from recyling my old PJ

Today I sew a Fleece Soaker for Lukie, I recycled my old PJ which I don't wear anymore.  It turns very good, but a little bit small.  Then I looked back what did I do wrong, I found out I made a stupid mistake.  When I printed the pattern, I didn't pay attention to the scale, it wasn't 100%, it printed 80%.  I just reprinted the pattern, will try again tomorrow.

here is the pattern:

But I love the pattern, it is super easy and fast.  And it looks great!!  I know Santa Soaker, but this is only fleece garment that I have at home. 

Crochet First Wool Soaker for Lukie with Free Pattern

When I first started cloth diapering, I always heard people talk about wool soaker.  In my mind, I think that's crazy idea.  Because when the diaper got wet, the soaker would be wet like crazy.  Plus in summertime, it gonna be too hot.

Few weeks ago, I decided to make my own diaper cover, so I did more research about cloth diapering, I found out that what I thought about wool soaker are totally wrong.  It is opposite what I thought.  Wool is waterproof and it regulates body temperature, just think about sheeps.  Their coat are keep them from getting wet and hot weather.  Now it totally makes sense to me.  I decided to make my own wool soaker.  I joined the yahoo group and talked to people over there, I learnt more about wool soaker like how to lanolizing (to maintain the lanolin).  And I found some free crochet soakers patterns from Ravelry.

Yesterday, I started to crochet my first one, and I finished this afternoon.  It is super easy pattern, and looks great.  I love it.
