Catchy title, huh?
Ok, so here is the pair of soakers that I made for Miss Elizabeth, modelled by the lovely Hermione:
Pattern: Fern and Faerie pattern
Yarn: Plymouth Encore in pink
Needles: US 8
Mods: I did a hemmed edge at the top and put in elastic instead of the ribbing and a "rolled brim" on the legs instead of the ribbing. Can't you tell how much of a fan of ribbing I am? :-P
These were SUPER quick to knit (like a full day) and are knit in the round, which helps with the quick part.
Granted, they are a plain Jane pair, but once I check size, she will be to hippest girl on the block. Fair Isle here I come!!
BTW, check out Leigh's blog. This is how it happens people, I swear!!

oh those are cuuute. :) but wait...aren't soakers supposed to be made of wool ? oh wait...encore is some wool. :) tee-hee...
Those are very cute! I don't think the rolled brim will matter much at all. I'm starting to hate the ribbing too!
Great link too...ha ha!
