There is a recipe for this on One Good Thing by Jillee. Her recipe used 3 bars of Dove soap and 6 cups of water.

I tried this using Yardley's Lavender soap, and I apparently didn't leave it on the stove long enough and it turned into a jello like consistency as it cooled. She also states in her recipe that 6 cups is enough water for Dove but that other soaps may require more. Yardley's will require more water.

Currently mine is also snot like - but when I run out of my giant tub I'll try adding more next time I make it.

I <3 it!

This is so freaking awesome!

Poor Rebar!

It looks great- Iwish I could do that with the neighbors I have.

You can knit toys and donate them to your local childrens hospital

Blanketwise you could just knit up squares from dishcloth patterns (like from Purple Ducky since most of her dishcloth patterns all have the same CO number, Needle size, and yarn weight req) and piece them together to make little patchwork blankets.

either way its not endless miles of plain old stockinette.

there isn't really a set time period to expect the invite. You get it when you get it. It took a couple of months for me to get my invite, but I signed up early in beta. Like jax says, check your spam folder and be patient. You'll get to play on there soon enough. 

When I glanced at the thumbnail of this I thought that someone had knit a hat and posed it on their baby.

OMG I'm glad I clicked! He's adorable! Already clicked "This Rocks"

trigger is an awesome fabric to work with regarding garb and costuming. Our trigger stuff has lasted for-ev-er.

When I was playing NERO I had the same kind of issue. With the girls in the chapters I used to play at they didn't really wear the same thing as the guys in their houses.... there wasn't even a girl version really. You were encouraged to coordinate your outfit (whatever it may be) with the House colors.
So, while in the Baronial court )the colors were royal blue, white, and a whole bunch of black) and being a fighter I wore:
a pair of lighter blue (think a couple shades darker than baby) harem-ish pants
A white or black puffy sleeved  short chemise or poet shirt
A "doublet" I made from a simplicity pattern (3806, I just added more eyelets) which I made reversible one side black one side royal blue
And a full circle skirt in Royal blue

Generally I wore the skirt sides (left and right) tucked in to my belt so that the skirt wouldn't get in the way of fighting, but then if I needed to I could just pull them out and look frou frou. Or I could go without the skirt since I was wearing pants underneath anyway (all it took was one ill fated fall to teach me to always wear pants under skirts... even if there is no battling allowed). Making the "doublet" reversible helped with changing the looks while keeping it within the House colors, reversible items means more space in the suitccase.

I vote house colors, its easier as a girl to get costuming that way. Good Luck!

Awesome! I can hear "There's a party in my tummy!" just looking at him!
