Soooo...... I am so so happy to have a "surprise" knitting request for a niece of a friend who is expecting twin girls this summer, and I'm gearing up to try either some picky shorts or *possibly* skirties, paired with teeny little tank tops. Tiny girly knitting, I'm stoked!<br><br>
However, she's not going to cloth diaper (and I don't know her well enough to try and convince her, lol!), so I'd like to use a cotton or cotton blend instead. Does anyone have any reccomendations for a good yarn that is relatively inexpensive and readily available? I've been warned to steer clear from the Sugar & Cream yarn, I think, for whole garments, but I can't remember why. I have heard good things about Cotton-Ease, but I'd like a variegated yarn to kind of let the yarn add some visual interest, haha! Another mama here just posted an apron top in CottonTots yarn that I *loved* - does anyone know if this would have enough "give" to it for shorties even though it's 100%?<br><br>
Thanks bunches, knitting mamas!
