one of those moby wraps that you hold babies in? They're just a long piece of fabric (knit), but I wasn't sure how wide it needed to be. any ideas???

Boy, do I have lots of links for people today. I searched the net some time ago for these things. Never did make one, but I have seen others that have and the person that used them thought they were great. Just wish they had them when mine was little!
