Day 19: Sock Machine Longies

The fit isn't exactly right yet, but it's close enough to make me want to try again... Because every baby needs ugly ass sweater-pants....

Day 18: Subversive

I actually made three socks last night, but I think the first pair is actually destined to be frogged as the color combination is too ugly to live. I wasn't sure that was possible, but sho nuff, I wouldn't put those on my feet. So I switched gears and made the first of a pair of "interview sox" to give my friend A an extra subversive lift when it comes time to don the dread suit and tie...

Day 17: Two Socks on a School Night

I wouldn't say that I was under the gun to get these done, but I am having lunch with the recipient today... I just felt it might be more convenient for both of us, if she were to receive both socks the same day...

Day 15: Quilted Northern, aka Crappy Quilting

Because I am still not ready to show you the surprise socks, I will instead present to you the 15 or so new diapers that I finally got around to making with the stuff I've been acquiring since we decided to cloth diaper Moodles.

The skinny kitty flannel absorbancy boosters have a shammy towel inside. The doggy flannel mains have a recycled bath towel quilted in for the same purpose. I picked up the flannel on sale for $1.29/yd. That's about three yards worth of diaper. A dozen new cloth diapers run between $18 and $24. So... fashion and frugality for the win. Moodles is test driving a new main right now... I'll let you know how it turns out.

Day 13: Moar Diapers

Really, the Diapers aren't the Thing, but I can't show you what I'm working on until the Surprise is complete. So. You get these extremely festive new diapers that I made for Moodles, instead!

Day 12: diaper duty

A break from socks, as some of Moodles diapers wore out and needed to be replaced!
