Kimberly: A pattern for Britney to work on as her belly swells beyond comprehension. I tried to pick something realistic. I mean, it’s not like anyone’s ever going to put shoes or a shirt on the poor little tot.
Mary: Wait a second….are those UltraHigh© Waist diapers? Something looks vaguely familiar.…
How long as Britney been pregnant with the Spawn of Federline anyway? Judging from my calculations based on the previous pregnancy rumors I think Britney is somewhere in her eighth trimester.
Um, how safe is it to have babies wrapping yarn around their neck? And knitting needles? I see some therapy in these kids’ futures.
ha! you two are so funny, i have managed to avoid my responsibilites for almost forty minutes now, thanks!
Hey, do you actually have this pattern book?

If you would like a serious comment, which you probably don’t but a little thing like that never stopped me before, these are “soakers.” They went over diapers. In the 1950’s they did have rubber pants to go over diapers, but they were expensive so women knitted or croched soakers. Cheap but effective plastic pants came out in the 1960s. In 1968, when DD was born, the first disposables (Pampers) hit the national market, but most of us didn’t use them because (1) they were exorbanently expensive and (2) they gave many babies a nasty rash. Which goes to show just how determined an industry can be as they persisted in developing better and cheaper ones.
Yeah, actually, that diaper cover in a nice wool would go for about $40 bucks easy on e-bay these days. Anything fancy could get you $60-$100. That’s each. Soakers are back.
wool soakers are awesome. But broke non-knitters like myself make them out of old sweaters!
Britney’s baby is due September 2005 (just like mine…. ECH please help me!) i am going to try to induce in August so i don’t have mine the same time as hers. i don’t want my child in any way connected to hers
And don’t believe the hype about ‘for 12 to 20 pounds’. After two or three pounds, the stuff begins seeping over the top and down the legs.
Look at the positioning of the knitting needle.
