There has been a flurry of bib making around here. This also means that there will have to be a flurry of end weaving and button sewing, which will follow soon. I have been trying to use up scraps from other bibs that I had made and I am pleased with the color combos that resulted. Four of the above bibs are for the Tomato and two are for a friend who just had a baby boy. The pattern is the Baby Bib O’Love from Mason Dixon Knitting. This is my go-to pattern for bibs and I have it memorized now that I have knit over 30 of them for friends and myself. I used Lily Sugar n Cream cotton yarn for all of these. I think this is a great workhorse yarn for any dishcloths, burp cloths or bibs that you need to make.
So, after knitting a bunch for the Tomato, I feel a need to knit for myself a bit. Enter the Snow Cowl from tentenknits. I have said before that I love Margaux’s patterns and this one looks to be a good, simple knit that I can do while catching up on So You Think You Can Dance during nap times.
The yarn that I will be using is amongst the first yarn that I bought as a knitter. That means it has been in the stash for over 6 years! I had bought four balls of Rowan Plaid back in 2005 (2 in Sea Thistle – above and 2 in Creeper – which I used for the Luxe Cowl that I made last fall). I was thrilled to find this pattern, which would use up both skeins. I love using up my stash. It coincides with all of my other efforts to simplify our house and space and I end up with a beautiful piece in the end. I cast on four days ago and may actually wrap it up today. I will post pics as soon as it is complete. Now, what to stash dive with next??
