Changes

3+ years of blogging at BAM's Zoo about knitting and such and it is time for a change. A few things have contributed to this:


  1. My MBA studies providing limited time for knitting & blogging

  2. Lack of knitting/spinning (only 3 finished projects in my gallery as of April...not a lot to talk about on that front)

  3. Our new baby

  4. Ravelry provides a good community for knitters

Hubbs and I have always had separate blogs, but have decided to do a family blog for our friends & family to keep track of us. So that we can feel safer about blogging freely with family pictures and such, only approved users will have access to our new site. We plan to discontinue our individual blogs. Knitters can find me on Ravelry as BAMsZoo. I also welcome you to send me a email and I will gladly add you to our approved users.

Considerations

In an effort to be more environmentally conscious, Hubbs keyed in on these: gDiapers! Thinking about how non-biodegradable regular diapers are kind of disgusts me and Hubbs hasn't been too excited about the idea of cloth diapers. Could this be the perfect solution for us? We have a local shop that is listed for carrying these that we will probably check out. I am particularly interested in g pants. I am now thinking about how I could adapt soaker patterns to work with the gDiapers...the g pants have a snap liner to fit the "flushable". Hmmmm....oh the possibilities.
