So here it is! My very first upcycled wool soaker made with the Katrina soaker pattern from a 100% Merino wool sweater that I got for $4.99 from the thrift store. I think it came out pretty good for being my very first one.

So cute! I really love it. Looks professional!
I just knitted my first pair of wool shorties, put them on my 2 year old and he freaked out saying they itched! I hope I can figure something out!

Awesome! You have inspired me to try this. If mine comes out half as good as yours I will be happy!!

I have made a few out of fleece before, but they were so much harder to make. Wool is a lot easier to sew on.
