Life is slowly settling down around here. My husband's surgery went smoothly and now he's in the long recovery phase. This past Sunday, I said goodbye to all my precious grandkids as they headed off to their new home in North Carolina. It was so difficult to watch them drive away as they had all been staying with me for the past three weeks. We shared lots of laughs and even though it was crazy at times, I loved every minute. I'm sure they'll enjoy their new state, even though it breaks my heart to have them all so far away.
With the quiet, I now have time to catch up on things that have been on the back burner. I designed this pattern several months ago and am just now getting around to posting it. It's funny how things, work out, but no sooner did I finish charting it up, than I received a request for it! One of my friends on Ravelry, xstitch or Vicki, was looking for a fox bib for her sweet grandson. She even offered to test knit it for me! She's just an amazing knitter. I often tell her that when I grow up, I want to be just like her! I feel so honored that she wanted to help me!
I went through three different drafts for this one. The first one looked too much like a cat to suit me and the second one looked like Wil E. Coyote! You know, foxes are pretty tricky to do! In any event, Vicki and I settled on this one, and I hope that you'll like it too.
The patterns are both in the sidebar, or you can just click

I saved the best picture for last! Here's a picture of Vicki's adorable grandson modeling his new bib!
I love it! A huge thank you to Vicki (and to her daughter) for allowing me to share this picture with you. If you'd enjoy seeing more of Vicki's knitting, here's a link to her Ravelry project page:
xstitch She has the most gorgeous shawls and she's even had a pattern named after her!
Xstitch A pretty (and free) cowl pattern with, what else?, cross stitches!
