Notes

Starting my first dress for this little sprout in my belly. Not sure how sizing will be - will likely be a bit big for a newborn, but aiming for a 3-6 or 6-9 month fit.

2/16/12 - So far, I just love this yarn. A little more springy than I’d imagined it’d be, but it’s lovely.

3/11/12 - This was a really satisfying dress to knit. I followed the pattern exactly as written and really love the end result. My only worry is that the neck opening might be a little snug if I want to eventually turn the dress into a tunic for an older baby, but I think it’ll be just fine for a 3-6 month old (which is the age I intended to knit for). I think I’ll make this dress again in a bigger size since it was a pretty quick and easy knit for me.

8/21/12 - just added the photo of our baby in the dress. It fit her at just 4 weeks. I tried it again at 6 weeks but her head is already too big!! I’m going to have to figure out how to open the neck up a bit because the rest of the dress will still fit her body and it’s a shame to just keep it in the closet. :-/
