What's an Ordinary?
For those of you who are not bicycle enthusiasts, an ordinary is an old-fashioned high wheel bicycle.
I've been wanting to knit one of these for a long time now and finally got around to charting and writing out the pattern.

The bib is unique in that it doesn't tie (choke the poor baby), velcro (sticks to everything in the washer), or button (swallowed).
The i-cord knot slips through a knitted-in button hole.
If you make the bib from dishcloth yarn (Peaches & Cream) it will shrink and become thicker and more absorbent when it is washed. Also my granddaughter loved chewing on the rough fabric. I used 2 strands of Mississippi 3 by Katia. Any type of worsted cotton will do.

And if you don't need a bib — make a dishcloth or washcloth!
The pattern is available for sale on my website.

I've been cycling for over 20 years and have yet to find a pair of arm warmers that would stay up on my arms.
So I decided to knit my own. I started at the top and knit down using the magic loop method (2 at a time on one circular needle). The wool sock yarn has aloe and jojoba oil in the fiber as a built-in skin softener that should last for about 15 washings. I made them extra long with a thumb opening at the hand. The extra ribbing at the top and wrist make sure I have a snug fit. I'll be writing the pattern up later.
I never thought I'd need arm warmers in FL, but this time of year they are perfect for the below 50° mornings that warm up fast.
