I was inspired by the garter stitch bibs in "Mason-Dixon Knitting," but I wanted mine to be a bit more shapely. I also wanted to personalize them. The accent color on the purple one was not quite contrasty enough, but it was a good exercise in intarsia knitting. Likewise, the "e" didn't show up well in the green by just doing it in reverse stockinette against the green stockinette background. A quick chain stitch border fixed it right up though. Best of all, they are absorbent and will wash well when all of those wonderfully-colored baby foods come along next month!
