M2 really liked the changes I made in her room. I have started to use it as a sewing room, so I put a desk in there and moved a few things around. I didn't want her to feel I was pushing her out of her room but she's rarely here anymore, especially since she isn't going to be home this summer, other than a visit here and there. So I am glad she was okay with it.
I finished the Petal Bib the other day; it was a quick knit, but I'm not sure I'll knit many more as it had fourteen ends to weave in! This doesn't show the true color but it's a pale mint blue/green. 
I also made another washcloth. Not exciting but my favorite beach projects; small and cotton. I used the same yarn I always use, Plymouth Yarn's Fantasy Naturale, but this color was a departure from my normal color palette. I tried to give it to my mom, but she said she has enough washcloths. How can you ever have enough I wonder? Into the wicker trunk it goes for future gifting.

Maybe because it's mercerized? I'm not sure I know what that means but it must mean something, right?
Hope your Tuesday is a good one!
LOVE the petal bib- so precious!
ReplyDeleteThe bib is adorable. Any chance you can weave in those ends while you're knitting instead of doing them at the end? With the log cabin blanket, I'm weaving the ends in as I go and all I have to do is snip the ends after it's washed and blocked.
ReplyDeleteThat petal bib is so-o cute. Using that washcloth yarn might help in the stain department, too. Babies make such lovely messes with their food.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Rudee on the yarn ends. Whenever possible weave'em in.
I love that bib, I made one for my daughter when she was small - and charming:) Thanks for your comment at my blog too - I am so envious that you have a lifelong pen-pal - I never found anyone with endurance :)
ReplyDeleteThat bib is adorable and i bet it washes better than all the terry cloth and cotton fabric out there. Hope you had a great day with you daughter! seven more days - yay!!!
