I just tried knitting a soaker keychain. All I can say is, if someone decides to do keychain soakers, don't use worsted! Makes for one UGGLEE little soaker! :LOL

Toothpicks would have made it easier - I wish I had some!

There's NO WAY I could have put cuffs on this thing!

Okay, it's seriously a sickness that I'm sitting here, thinking of using the baby weight yarn and size 2 needles I have to try to knit up a tiny little soaker... :LOL

And of course whomever is able/does choose to do this . . . will display the pics here for us to see???

Wanna donate about 40 of them for MDC?? :LOL :LOL

Oh, and pictures of knitting with toothpicks would be 'educational' as well! :LOL

Yeah

FYI you can use a size 000 needle and it works great. Mine I have made were about 1.5 in tall. If my arthritis would allow me I would make some for MDC but alas my hands are killing me.

Do you mean like this?

The one on the right is the ugly worsted soaker :LOL

(Disclaimer: I do NOT knit for a living, and this picture would not be appropriately moved to the sewing/crafts board because nobody there asked to see a teeny-tiny soaker)

Um I said 20! not 40! LOL but you can't scare me woman! I bet it takes me less time to knit a mini soaker than it does for you to sew the mini diaper! (or close ) :P
