Why all this cotton, you might ask. That's a damn good question, I might say. If you haven't picked up Mason Dixon Knitting then you wouln't understand. And you would be missing a book that you need to go buy. Right now. Rilly. No worries, I'll be here when you get back.
...
All set? Alright, now that we have aforementioned Tome of Knowledge, I can start to enable.
I'm not sure what kind of subliminal messaging is in this book, but I have the urges to knit two of most things and hundreds of others. You'll love it, trust me. Go peruse it at the bookstore sometime if you don't believe me and didn't really just run out to buy it. And when you do take the plunge, I won't even say I told you so.
Anyway.
Ballband Warshclothes, Baby Bibs O Love, and Baby Genius Burp Cloth abound. Let's just say I know some people that will be putting these to good use in the near future.
Being a novice at best, the red bib you see above was a challenge for me. I decided to do a basketweave pattern to liven up the solid color and the result was great. Until I realized I had to continue the pattern up the straps. I was nearly done with the first one when I realized that I was doing the pattern backwards. The wrong side was on the right side of the pattern, and vice versa.
It only took a few curses to get it all straightened out.
I just hope it doesn't rub bad juju off on the kid.
