Stripes 'R Us
Today's post is brought to you by Stripes 'R Us. It's an entirely stripey day here at Unwind. First up, we have the completed Mason-Dixon Knitting Burp Cloth.
In reality the colors aren't quite that neon. They're a nice medium blue and an apple green - Peaches & Cream cotton. This is a really simple stitch pattern - just garter stitch with a slipped stitch thrown in on the right side to keep things interesting.
And, as requested, here's the back:
In other stripey news, one Oak Rib Sock is done:
Best of all, it fits! I made my mom try it on because I wasn't sure about the length (luckily the rib provides lots of stretch for a good fit in the width department), and she reports that it is "perfect". So, I've cast on for the second one. I'm taking the sock with me to Estes Park this weekend. I imagine I'll be able to fit a couple of rows in over the lunch break or something and will hopefully have a bit of progress to show next week.

Very cute indeed! Stripes always make me cheery for some reason. I'm headed to Estes this weekend too.

I love that burping cloth - what yarn did you use? (A coworker just had a baby and I'm about to start knitting for her - this looks like a great idea!!)

That difference in colors between the pictures is crazy! I kind of like the neon...

Such a cute little cloth for baby to spit on! :) I love the simple design.
Lucky girl going to Estes! You are going to have a great time!

Do you think we'll have much time for knitting? My knitting is packed but I have little hope of progress. We'll be having TOO much fun;-)

I love the burp cloth. I think I will be doing that in the near future with all my other baby stuff for the neice/nephew. Love the sock - 2 are always good to have! The fox is cute by the way but from a distance if a cat is at risk for sure! I hope you have a great time in Estes Park and learn lots. Your yarn looks great to this non spinner if that means anything!

Have a wonderful time at Estes Park! The plying from your last post looks great, especially for your first attempt. I'm sure you'll only get better with practice.
