I finished my project for the Knit the Classics selection this month, The Woman in White, a while ago, but didn’t want to give away the ending to others who have not finished the reading. So here it is. This is in honor of Walter’s rule that the past is behind and should not be spoken of any longer. Looking to the future is the way to proceed.
The bib is my own pattern, based on a Victorian bib. It is crocheted with basic cotton, so it is basically a lacey dishcloth to hang from Baby’s neck. The booties from the Shell Baby Booties pattern. I was happy to find some pretty Victorian heart buttons to finish the bib, making it and adjustable-size neck. I enjoyed making this pattern and know just who I will send it to when the time comes. Looking to the future.
Oh, and hop on over to Knitty.com for the Surprise! patterns. There are four new patterns. Two are really cute sweaters. I’m done, go ahead and check them out. : )
New surprise patterns at Knitty.com.
these are really cute. I like that they are blue so they could be used for a boy, but kinda frill so a girl could get use out of them too.
so creative you are!

The bib is just fabulous. It reminds me a lot of the little bibs my grandma made for me when I was a baby many (cough) years ago.

LOVE the poem, Becky! I didn’t know you taught high school. Learn something new every day
That explains your love of reading the classics.

That’s a darling and practical layette set! Fits nicely with Woman in White too. Those buttons are perfect.
I love that poem. It does speak to everyone. Nice introduction to the Beats too even if I had to look up entrechats. Live and learn.
