Mason Dixon bib

Another knit for the fetus!

We went to a thrift store this weekend. Upon entering, things didn’t look too promising. Things just didn’t look very organized. They had tables full of clothes and while everything on them was 99 cents, it would take hours to go through everything to find something suitable. Just when I thought I’d leave empty handed, I spotted a plastic box on the floor that had yarn in it! Most of it was blah, but at the very bottom, I found 2 balls of Intermezzo Chunky. It’s a 100% mercerized cotton. They had 2 different shades of this teal and I snagged them both, despite them not having prices. When we went to pay, we discovered they were only 59 cents each! how awesome is that?? I knew I wanted to make a bib or two for the little one in either knit or crochet and then a few patchwork ones, so this was great!

Pattern:
“Baby Bib O’Love” from Mason Dixon Knitting
Yarn: InterMezzo Chunky 100% Mercerized cotton
Needles: US 8
Mods: slightly chunkier yarn, so I went up in needle size and down in stitch count (down to 35 sts)

It took a few episodes of CSI and I had a bib. I even used my last little plane button. I had bought a bunch when the Hancock Fabrics nearby went out of business and I LOVED them.
