See?

Just a bunch of garter stitch:




(More Mason-Dixon baby bibs and burp cloths.)

I'm in the mood for some Posy.

Matchy-Matchy

Ever so important in knitted items that are destined to be covered in food and spit-up.

Done and done:

Probably you all know this, but just in case, these are Mason-Dixon style bibs and burp cloths out of Rowan Handknit Cotton dk. Color is not true -- the green is about right, but the purple is warmer.


Done, done and done:

You're seen the salmon bib before -- but now it has a button that matches the new burp cloth. (Principle of the thing. You understand.)


Hello!:

If you're wondering why you get so many more pictures of this one than the other one, it is only because this one remains curious about the camera.


And new yarn. (No picture -- couldn't get a good one.) 5 skeins Rowan handknit cotton dk, three skeins "fonty Velourine," and two skeins "Merlin Avalon."

And no, I didn't break the resolution to get them. They came from two separate bricks-and-mortar shops, neither of which I have shopped at yet this quarter, so good for me!

But I am getting a little worried that I'm running out of LYSs. There aren't too many more within reasonable distance. What if I've already hit them all by the end of February, and then in March I start jonesin' real bad? (Road trip!!!)

The Thing With the Strategic Baby Handknits Reserves . . .

. . . is that it often happens that as soon as you finish (or even almost finish) a handknit planned for the reserves, a baby shows up out of the blue to claim it.




Claimed. (Already!)

We chose the coconut buttons I'd been considering for Freya. Coconut? They look more like chocolate to me. Mmmmmmm. Chocolate. (Does anyone else see it?)
