New woolies for Eleanore

Peace fleece stripes:

I plan on knitting a solid blue cardigan sweater to match these. Peace fleece is a little controversial over on the diaper boards, but I love it. Some say it’s too scratchy, but I’ve found that if you wash them in the washing machine on delicate with cold water and throw them in a dryer (yes, the dryer) for a few minutes on low, they come out super soft. I just placed a big peace fleece co-op order (it’s only $4.50 a skein if you wholesale it!!!) for some sweaters and another pair of longies. I also picked up some of the natural to try and dye, as well. It’s also great for hats and mittens, so those are in the plans as well.

This pair was supposed to be for a stocking, but I had an issue with the natural trim I used, coupled with wool wash = dye bleed :( Kimi of A Twisted Stitch is replacing the yarn though and has tested the dye so we know it won’t run :yay: so I can still offer a semi-custom next month in this same colorway!
It’s her Crazy Like a Fox colorway.
