FO: Bibs for Baby Girl W.

It seems like it’s been a LONG time since I’ve had a finished object. I guess, since there are three, that I should really say Finished Objects.

Bibs: Baby Bib O’ Love from Mason Dixon Knitting. Each used just less than one ball of Lily Sugar’n Cream Solid (100% Cottton, colors: Hot Blue, Hot Orange, Hot Pink ) on bamboo #7 straights. Wooden buttons from Arcadia Knitting.
Started: First bib: 9/2-3/07, Second Bib 9/3/07, Third Bib 9/4-6/07
Finished: Washed and sewed buttons on 9/21/07

I went to my co-worker A’s baby shower this weekend. Co-worker A is a crocheter, and I taught her to knit over a lunchbreak one time. I figured if anyone could appreciate a handknit baby item, it would be her. Espeically a handknit baby item that can be machine washed and dried.

The bibs earned many ooos and aaahs at the shower, which amazed me because these are, without a doubt, one of the fastest, easiest things I’ve ever knit. By the third one, I was so tired of garter stitch and so tired of heavy cotton I couldn’t wait to finish.

Really simple, really cute pattern that’s a quick knit. I hope Baby Girl W enjoys them. Which I realize means “spits oatmeal all over them.”
