Different sizes to grow with your baby.
These patterns are made with crochet cotton. Crochet cotton is like terry cloth so you can throw these in the washer with your towels. The cotton is durable so won’t wear out.
Some patterns are smaller to fit newborns while others are larger so they can grow with the new edition.
Three of these patterns appeared in a Pattern Pack Pro in February 2019. I’ve added three new patterns to this leaflet. All will make practical and beautiful bibs for the babies in your life.
If you’ve been with me since the beginning, you know I have health issues which affect my mobility. The less I’m able to get around the more certain issues become important to me. I can’t do much physically.
I hate talking about this. I don’t want or need pity nor do I want people to think I’m using my health as a way to avoid working. At the same time, there are things which have become exceedingly difficult for me.
How can someone like me give back? I’m not out running or biking some race or run. I can’t walk to my bathroom some days. So how can I help out? Of course – the only way I can help out is to write. So I’ve been writing.
I was asked to join an anthology to support people with disabilities. All I had to do was write a story. So I did. It will now appear in this anthology:

How is Adara supposed to protect billions of humans? The answer – she can only protect those she can. Getting her to realize it – that’s the hard part. Juggling her third pregnancy, new planets and society, and trying not to get killed by Hettians is a enough to deal with but those are just the bullet points on her to do list. From War to Resolve, I knew the series was ending.
Wayfarer War
Home – they’re barely settled when Adara’s off trying to help the humans. Why? Because it’s how she is. But the humans government is too arrogant to see they are about to be slammed. This started as one of the shorter books. The characters wouldn’t let me skim over the more serious issues at hand.
Blurb
The Hettians attack!
Rushing through Human territory, Command does not respond to the attack leaving the outer stations, planets and settlements undefended. Death and destruction follow the Hettians.
Pregnant with twins, Adara fears for her family and her people. She wants to fight, to protect but doesn’t have the fire power to take on the Hettians. Short staffed and short on supplies, she questions every decision.
The Lux becomes a way station for those escaping the Hettian invasion. With assistance from the Etiennes, Adara works to rescue survivors but also tries to let the unsuspecting stations and settlements know what is headed their way.
Will the Hettians annihilate the Humans? Will any race be safe from them?
Evolution and Resolve started as one book. About the time I got through the initial book, I knew it was too long. So I split them. One thing which needed to be prominent was that prejudice doesn’t go away no matter what you do to wipe it out. There’s always a little lingering.
Blurb
Humans only survives
Old prejudices haunt the Wayfarers as they make room for the survivors of the human race. Little incidents of vandalism and bigotry pile up. Adara and Decker face the day to day running of the Wayfarers both on planet and off. With Oakes’ reassurance and Decker’s support, she plans to take the new ship and explore their sectors.
Before they can go, humans only make an attempt to harm their children and family. Taking a hands off approach, the investigation is handled by people outside the family. Violence against the family and Adara’s assistants lead to the Wayfarers first trial.
Back in space, Adara settles into running the Wayfarers and exploring space. She finds comfort and excitement in learning how to delegate and balance her life. But the conflict isn’t resolved and follows her.
One of the things I wanted to show was that prejudice isn’t one way. Everyone has prejudices to some degree. The question becomes whether you act on them or if you try to overcome them.
Blurb
Bigotry haunts Adara.
Adara and Decker set out in their new ship to take workers to Monroe and find a new planet for the Etiennes. While they address violent riots on Homeworld, their children are attacked. Adara must be Mathair Naclan – mother of the clans. She learns to take control and stand firm behind her decisions which follow beliefs from a range of races including her own heritage of human and Wayfarer. The bigotry threatens the most vulnerable of her family.
Bias within the Wayfarers and against the Wayfarers frustrates Adara as she and her admin council defend against the Humans only group. The family is threatened by the people Adara rescued.
Can they find a way to peace or will the prejudice tear apart the connections Adara and the Wayfarers are making?
Believe it or not, people can disagree and still get along. In these three books, it’s a prelude to and the huge change in Decker and Adara’s roles. Decker grows a lot in these books. I knew by the end of Convictions that changes had to occur for the series to remain interesting. Unusual for me, I actually had a plan for these three books. Generally, I go with the flow but I know I wanted to shift the story to a new direction.
Wayfarer Limits
What’s the fastest way to get rid of people? Change the rules. Command changes the rules and in the process alienates (pun intended) the aliens. Some of the inspiration comes from the racial tensions we experience and some from historical events like the rise of Hitler’s Germany. It all got rolled up into one ball and this book is the result.
Blurb
Command changes the rules.
Disagreeing without fighting, Adara and Decker face the new challenges as Command issues new mandates restricting how all members do their jobs. Tension rises on the ship and across the human territory. Diplomatic relations with the Tuscalains goes poorly for the humans but not for the Wayfarers. Racial unrest ripples across the human territory, hitting close to home with Adara’s family.
I think this quote “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men should do nothing.” (Edmund Burke) Mandates – rules being changed which are inherently (from the Declaration of Independence – read it – it’s powerful) unfair and unjust. So throw those influences in and add in Adara and Decker’s sense of right and wrong and out pops Contentious.
Blurb
More Mandates!
Escalating conflicts plague the command staff and Decker and Adara. New trainees arrive with an unexpected addition.
Racial tensions rise with many attacks on other races. Allies are attacked, humans only is on the rise.
Adara’s always wanted a home. For her, it’s usually a ship but now the Wayfarers and a bunch of others need a home. Somewhere they can build what’s needed to move forward. What better way to do this than find a bunch of planets in a protected location and go there away from those who don’t want them. I remember thinking of the Oregon Trail my daughters used to play when they were young. A trip over a long distance isn’t as simple as it sounds. There’s always hazards and difficulties. Adara has a somewhat idealistic view on life until she has to organize a lot of people into some sort of cohesive organization.
Blurb
It’s time to leave!
Adara and Decker gather up the Wayfarers, Humans, Briskans, and a variety of other races to leave. Friends, Georgette, Luke, and Drake, join them bringing needed skills.
Building a new society, Adara struggles with all the responsibilities on her shoulders. An uncomfortable ship, seven months pregnant and a saboteur create an intolerable situation. Teamwork and drawing on all resources, including the children, helps get all the tasks done and sets a precedent on how they move forward as they travel to their new home.
