Notes

Burgundy ribs, gold stockinette body. I hope I have enough yarn for that, if anything it’ll be a short dress! I tried looking at other projects to see if my yarn will be enough, and I really, really cannot tell. I wish there was an “exact amounts” search function and/or box to click for people who have weighed their exact project and want to search other projects for people who have the same level of OCD knitting! It is helpful when people put how many skeins they had for the project, but a lot more helpful when they put the exact amount of skeins that were used rather than 2 “because I had to use a second skein for the edging” or something similar.
/rant,

Well, it’s definitely a much shorter and smaller dress than anticipated, partially due to my small amount of yarn and partially due to the fact that I used the wrong needles. D’oh! Oh well, hopefully it’ll be worn and enjoyed at least a few times.
