Longies do work!
Although I knitted a soaker a while back and it does work, I have been a bit skeptical about how well longies would work and usually use a pocket nappy with the soaker over the top. I finally finished the longies I was knitting a fortnight ago and have been using them sometimes during the days. However I have used them for the last 2 nights and they are brilliant!!
 The first night I used them over 2 terry flats and last night I used them over an extra boosted fitted. Even though the outside of the nappies were wet, the longies were completely dry! You wouldn't know there was a totally saturated nappy underneath. Sorry about the ramble but I think I'm lurve!

Re: Longies do work!
yep, i think it is an experiential thang. Until you see it for yourself, it's hard to 100% believe it.
i've felt like that about most of the MCN concepts. Skeptical until i tried it and saw it worked. i thought i would hate the handwash/lanolising routine too, yet i don't mind it (says me, a mum of one bub). With the quality and quantity of the newborn version of tiny bilby, plus my illhealth at the time, i'm still not sure newborn woollies would have worked for us, but i glad we've into them now. good on you for knitting your own, cool! how wonderful to be able to customise them exactly to your own bub (fit) and your own tastes (colours). awesome

Re: Longies do work!
Well Bilbylove, before you start thinking I'm clever I have to admit that I just followed Rachael's pattern and just knitted the length to suit Caelan! It took me about 3 months to finish them because I am such a slow knitter and had to keep stopping. But now that they are finished I feel really proud of myself!
I don't know how I would have gone with wool with a newborn. They are pretty full on nappy wise. BTW I have a lanolising wool wash which is just fantastic. Another thing that I was skeptical of. LOL
