My extraordinarily talented friend, Michelle, wrote the cutest dress pattern and asked if I would help by test knitting it in a size 4. I was thrilled to help out of course! One of the best things about this pattern, was Michelle wanted us to use a certain weight and fiber content of yarn, cotton! Yay! Xi can’t stand anything with even the slightest amount of wool in it, so knitting for her has been challenging as she just won’t wear any of it. I figured this was do or die with her, so when the yarn came I asked her to feel it and see what she thought. She smiled gleefully, announcing, “It’s so soft!” Whew! First hurdle down. So I knit up the dress and finished it this morning. She was eager to try it on and I have to say it is a huge success as she now refuses to take it off. She has declared it the perfect princess dress and wants to wear it everyday..haha! Hats off to you Michelle for a beautiful pattern and the perfect yarn requirements!
Adorable! (the dress AND my niece)
You are so talented Cat: this is gorgeous.
Turned out so cute, Cat! I love the colors you chose– that color green is just beautiful! Thanks for testing this. Pattern should be up and running some time this week!
Wow! Love it…the colours, the "darts", the wavey hem, the little ribbon…kudos to your friend and to you! I have a wool-phobe too, so this could be the dress for her!
They are both just too cute!
Wow!! That is absolutely adorable! You did a really job with it, and the pattern is fabulous! So cute. makes me wish i could read patterns. lol
That is utterly adorable. Well done, to both you and to Michelle. And I love the color choice!
The dress certainly looks regal. My first quick thought: Avalon.
Let that princess wear it daily if she wishes – being cotton it will stand many washings.
Kudos to you who knits.
I just stepped in for a second but I'll be back.
Wow! I am in love with this! Your talents are extraordinary Cat! How can I order one for my niece?
