Baby Shower, cont.
As promised, here are the other three bibs I made for young Master Samuel.
This is the Something’s Fishy bib found at Down Cloverlaine.
We are a fishing community - everyone either fishes commercially or subsistance fishes or sport fishes . . . at some point in their lives here on the Kenai Peninsula. So, I felt it was quite fitting that Samuel should have a fishy themed bib. Don’t you agree?
I think - at least in mine - the fishes are a bit hard to see if you aren’t looking for them. That’s why I added the fishy button. The picture is a bit blurry - hope you can see the pattern.
The i-cord is done with a double pointed needle. The technique is really simple once you get it down. Don’t be afraid to try it.
Another bib is also linked on the same site: This Bears Repeating by Elaine Fitzpatrick is so cute. I didn’t add a button to this one as I think the bears are easily seen in the pattern.
I used a lighter green color for this cloth. The ties again are the i-cord ties - really, super easy to do once you get down the knack of NOT turning the work each row . . . just slide the work to the left and work the next row each time. Easy peasy.
The last one I made is the Train Bib by Rainy Kimbrough. I didn’t like - so didn’t do - the contrast stitching around the bib. Maybe it was just the picture that threw me off so I didn’t even think about doing it. (Ever since I was small red on blue JUMPS and SQUIGGLES on my eyes. It has taken me years to figure it out - I think it has something to do with the astigmatism I have in both eyes. )
Okay . . . TMI perhaps 
- so here is the picture - I did it in red and added buttons to signify smoke coming from the stack.
