Leggings!!

As promised, I am back with a review of the new leggings, and some pictures of them in action.

I know Shannon has been working on a leggings design for awhile. Tons of people have been asking including me. What we didn’t realize is how much thought actually has to go into a wool legging. They have to be able to fit over a cloth diaper bottom, be trim fitting, not too thick, but have to contain wetness. They also have to be easy to make in order to keep up with demand.

Here is what she came up with.

I know what you are thinking. They are a bit odd looking to put it nicely. I was a bit iffy myself until I really thought about what these things had to do.

1. They have to contain wetness. check! Done with a reliable interlock soaker.

2. They have to be trim fitting. check! Again you have the trim interlock.

3. They have to be comfortable for the baby. check! All of these will be made with super soft cashmere.

Let’s get to the good stuff. Pictures!

It was instant love as soon as I saw these on Kara! They look so good, and I have zero worries about leaks because of the built in soaker. And, oh my goodness, they are so soft!

Here is another view. These can be cuffed or scrunched. I’m really a fan of scrunching them. 🙂

I have seen people asking if these would work for a boy. Yes! They can totally work for a boy too! Owen was sweet enough to model for us yesterday.

cute, cute, cute! I’m thinking darker colors, with an umber soaker would be lovely on boys.

Here they are together.

A quick note about the fit. I would not size up on these at all. There is plenty of room in the inseam on these for them to last. Kara is pretty well in a medium size soaker. Mostly because she has super chunky thighs, so she needs the bigger thigh band. That issue is eliminated in the leggings though. A medium just swallowed her in these. A small was absolutely perfect. Shannon actually made the small size soaker with a medium size waistband. I believe that is going to be standard on these. All that to say, there is no need to size up on these.

And just for cuteness….

There will be several pairs of these stocking this Thursday. Please feel free to comment with any questions.

Saturday and a Preview

Saturday I finally did it. I loaded sweet Kara up, and drove to see Shannon and all the wool goodness that surrounds her. This sounds much easier than it was. I had to convince my husband to watch the two older boys all day, and I had to pray that Kara would handle the three hour trip. I finally decided to go for it. So worth it!!! Shannon and I had so much fun finally getting together! It was one of the best days that I have had in forever! 

This was my first time seeing the wonderful Woollybottoms shop. Shannon was so nice, and gave me the run down on how everything works. I couldn’t be there without getting a few pictures. Excuse the iPhone quality, but I just have to show you all. 🙂

Lovely sweaters just waiting to be sorted through and made into something beautiful.

A shelf full of goodies just waiting to go out.

If you haven’t heard, Woollybottoms now has leggings available! Shannon has come up with a great design that I think you will all love. There should be several pairs available in the stocking this coming Thursday. Here is a quick preview of what they look like on the bum. 

Be sure to come back for more pictures of these awesome leggings. I’m also going to give a good review of them so you can know all the facts before you decide to order. 

A Little Catching Up

Hey! I hope you all had a great holiday weekend! I certainly enjoyed having my husband home for an extra day. Today I have been enjoying the extra quiet around the house, and trying to catch up on all the things that get neglected every weekend. 

I decided it was time to get back to this blog. I don’t want to think about how long it has been since our last post. Things got a little crazy for me and Shannon. All is well now, life just happens sometimes. 🙂

I have lots of new ideas for posts, but I would also love to hear from you. What would you like to read about on this blog? I would love to take it beyond just cloth diapering and wool, though there will still be tons of that on here too. Would anyone be interested in doing a guest post? Let me know. 🙂

Have a wonderful Tuesday!
