I just finished these bibs which will be baby gifts in the new year. Guess I just made the deadline as 2006 is ending soon!These were really fun and very easy. The pattern is from the the Mason-Dixon Knitting
book by Kay Gardiner and Ann Shayne. I was tempted to try one of the fancy stitch patterns from my new Barbara Walker's Treasury but decided against it. These are bibs...no need to be fancy. Hopefully they will have lots of food and drool stuck on them. I want them to be used, not put away in a drawer. I know if someone had given me elaborate knitted items for my boys I probably would be afraid to use them. I think these will be used. I wish I had had some for my boys when they were babies. I probably would have had dozen of them!Well, I hope this finds everyone happily waiting for the new year to begin. I know I am looking forward to order being restored in my household tomorrow when we take down the tree and all the rest of the decorations.
May everyone have a very happy and healthy new year!
happy knitting in 2007 :)
Those bibs are very nice. I would use them too. One of my sisters told me the dishcloths I make are too pretty to use to wash dishes, doesn't stop me from using them. Have a wonderful New Year with lots of knitting.
ReplyDeleteThe bibs are adorable! I love the one that looks like it has diamonds! Very pretty!
ReplyDeletewow. you've been knitting like crazy! the bibs are great, its one of the first things I made from the MDK for my little one when she still was in high need of a bib at the beginning of the year. LOVED IT..washed wonderfully. just like the dishcloths. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
ReplyDeleteThe bibs are cool...I'm loving the pattern that the yarn makes on bib#4. What yarn/color did you use?

ReplyDeleteThose are great bibs. I'm kind of shock I haven't flipped through or bought the MDK book yet. All I've done this year is a hat :)

I especially love the rainbow color one - what yarn did you use?
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy!! Those bibs look great!! They just look like bibs that you would want to pull out everyday and put on your baby. I really need to get the MDK book!
ReplyDeletehow did you do the rainbow bib come out like it did? I'd love to make some for a friend of mine...
ReplyDeleteGreat colors for your bibs! I haven't knit any in a while but do remember how fun and effortless they were to make up! They will be well received by the Moms-to-be!
