Hi all, The knit soakers I am doing are for my first grandchild due the end of Nov. :>) yeah !!! no old grandma jokes :>( Soakers = wool pants to put over cloth diapers to soak up wet. I have started two pair 100% wool that my daughter got , to get a small size but trying to get the waist not to small or too big, one I crocheted a row of double cro. then ran a drawstring through that. Tried k2p2 rib on the other for a few rows but the cast off was a bit tight,not stretchy . so now I'm thinking of knitting the top with elastic thread held with the yarn ,never done that before so we will see. any thing you can think of please let me know Thanks Jenny
