Baby Genius Burp Cloth. Finally. Done.
2 weeks old–helping mommy knit!
I know it’s hard to believe, but this crafty creation took just about 3 months to make! I know, all it is is a fancy rectangle; I’m a tad embarrassed about how long it took me to get to the finish line. I’m pretty sure the girls’ at knit night were probably really tired of seeing me bring this project in the last 4 weeks. I really believe I could read their minds thinking… isn’t she done with that already??!!
And you wanna know what’s really funny? This was going to be my knitty project I was going to work on in the hospital after delivering Ben. I thought I was going to make like 10 of these things while recovering. I also thought I was going to have all of this ‘down time’ to just sit and knit. Ha! Boy, was I wrong!!! The idea of that just cracks me up now!!! The only thing I did in the hospital was take care of Ben, sleep, and eat when I could. Not a stitch was knit.
I CO shortly after coming home from the hospital, obviously got side-tracked in a major way, and finally finished up last night. Now that it’s finally done, isn’t it the most rockin’ Baby Genius Burp Cloth ever? :) (You’ll need a ravelry account for the link to work.)
If I were to make another one, I’d probably make it even bigger than this one. Maybe more like 11” x 16”. I don’t know about your kid-o, but mine needs a big space to hit during feedings. Although, most of the spit-up usually ends up on me anyway; no matter how big of a cloth I use. :)

It looks like Ben certainly appreciates your knitting! ;) I like that shade of green!
How did you like the yarn? I’ve never knit with cotton, and I’m looking into a few projects that would require it.
Ben sure does like his new burp cloth. You both look wonderful. Miss you
LOVE THIS!!! I’m so glad you finished it, even if it was me that shamed you into it ;) jj. You did a fabulous job! Now I want one. Oh and the burp cloth too. hee hee.
[…] use them as burpie rags. That’s right, they are the best burpie rags EVER! Ben has his one fancy burp rag that I knitted for him (and a few that auntie & g-ma made as well). The rest are cloth […]
