The current count of babies needing bibs by the end of July... 5. 2 bibs and 2 washcloths each makes 20... TWENTY! knitted things for babies coming up. Here is the run down:
Amy Betts: Boy due June 1st or 2nd? (My cousin is due 1 of those days, but her bibs, etc. are done & mailed to her.)
Flores: Boy due mid-July. (Soldiers don't have first names, I've learned.)
Melara: Twins, sex unknown due in August, but shower is May 15th. (Another soldier, but I know their names. Michele & Kelvin are the proud parents-to-be.)
Ali Brown: Girl due mid-July
So while I am working on Sue's Dragon Wings Shawl every night after Boy's bedtime, Naptime is now dedicated to baby bibs & washcloths.
In other news... Michael's has now closed their yarn section. I almost cried! They are moving to a larger store in a better location and the moving process has begun. They claim they will re-open at the end of the month. I may not be able to wait that long! :( As this is the only decent source of yarn within a hour of here... I am lost. 2 whole weeks? Really? I guess I will have to make due with the 2 closets full of yarn that I have now... *sigh*
Also in other news... I have decided to try to design my own bib pattern. Ali seems to like butterflies according to her Target gift registry. So I'm going to give it a try. I'll take the basic down coverlaine pattern for bibs and see if I can put a big butterfly in the middle instead of a dinosaur or something. We'll see what happens. If it works out... well... let's just see what happens, shall we?
