What is so special about these you ask? Well, we used cloth diapers on Elliett from 4 months old until she potty trained last July and these are wool soaker pants used over certain kinds of cloth diapers. When Ellie was younger, these pants were absolutely impossible to get and I mean impossible. One person in the world knit them and there were very few available. I know some (admittedly crazy) people who paid over $200 to get some in their hot little hands (that is not nearly what I paid in case you were wondering). And of course since they were so hard to get and so irresistably cute I really wanted some for Ellie but I was never able to get any. But now the girl who designed and knit the originals has hired Peruvian women in a Fair Trade Co-Op to knit them so now they are more widely available. Now my nerdiest dream has come true.
Oh and for those of you who don't know what a fanatic I am, I love cloth diapers and I'm very excited to use them with this next baby so you'll probably be hearing about them quite often in the coming months and years. I've included links in my post about cloth just in case you were curious :)

I must have this. I've never seen or heard of them. You always find the best stuff. And by the way, congrats on another girl. I say when you know you're good at making something, stick with it. And you two make an absolutely adorable daughter.
