I have about given up on ever snagging a MM soaker so help me out mamas. My DS hates wool shorts and cries and pulls at them whenever we put them on him. He however doesn't seem bothered by soakers. The problem is I only have two. I have never really found knitted soaker that I


So mamas tell me what is your favorite WAHM soaker and why? Links would be helpful as well.

TIA

Well, this isn't gonna help you much, but BBB are truly exceptional! And MM uses the Fern & Faerie soaker pattern, so you can check the site for other WAHM's that use that pattern. Oh..and KSS is also off of the F&F pattern, too, I believe. Umm..let's see. I've got an LTK soaker that I really like. One from HSY is a good fit too! What are the soakers you have now made of? Maybe it's the yarn that he's having trouble with and not necessarily the shorts! Oh..Mr. Peabody's are awesome too, although I haven't tried her soakers, just pants and shorts! I've heard that the Wooly Wonder Everlasting soaker is great too. That's next on my list of "want to trys"!

Good luck mama!!

My new favourite. This one is mine. She is lightening fast, open for customs and a joy to work with.

Kai wore hers today I am working with her to get another this one rocks and fits sooo well.
LTK knitted with henrys attic yarn
www.curlypurly.com knitted with her irish yarn
www.nanaswoolies.com knitted with BFL
I love both the freelancemama, and bungalowbuns - (www.bungalowbuns.com). You can check them out and www.knittedsandfitteds.com. They are both supersweet and make amzing stuff!

Also, www.babywoolies.com
Although I haven't tried one *yet* I think Whimsical Fairies soakers look a lot like MM. http://www.whimsicalfairies.com/ I can't wait to try one!! Plus she is a such sweet mama.

I don't have that many soakers I have a ton of shorts and am now starting to think that I may need some soakers for really hot days. I love my KIYP soaker right now but they as hard to grab as MM. I would love to have a MM and BBB but don't know if I will ever snagg one. I scored my KIYP off the TP and keep watching it for others. I also have one from GMWW that I like.
I have two of Whimsical Fairies soakers with a third on the way. They are by far my favorite soaker. Her knitting is perfect, great communication and a wonderful person to work with. Here's pictures of mine.

This one is one it's way Dashing Dachs merino
Plymouth Outback
HPY merino

I think she is stocking next week.
Crap, I forgot about Meredith from Knitwitz. I second her, she ROCKS! One of the most amazing mamas I have ever met and her knitting is flawless. She does some wicked sets.

And I have been watching Kellie's stuff at Whimsical Fairies and it looks good. Better than good! All of them are knit from the F&F pattern which is one of the best.

I am loving my Nickers soaker. www.nickers.biz
I'm ordering another one from Nick as soon as I figure out what yarn I like the best for stretchiness/elasticity/relative-softness.

I know so pretty huh?! I hope it fits for a long time, I love the way her soakers w/ cuffs look on a baby!
Tiskin's Trousers is my new favorite! I have longies crocheted by Aleshia. She is an MDC mama. (Tiskin) She does a really awesome job! I have a NB soaker, too, which looks amazing (I haven't been able to use it, yet, though 'cause we're still TTC) & one ordered for Katie. She uses buttery soft HPY, which is the nicest I've felt! AND she is REALLY reasonably priced!
