Hopefully a dress this year (and next?) and a tunic next year (or the year after?) for a special little poppet. It has purple pocketses.

Notes/mods:

• Cable cast on used under arms instead of twisted loop; cast on 1 extra on each side of armholes, then decrease over gap on next row.
• Start alternating skeins after dividing for body & sleeves.

Didn’t like my first choice of colour for the sleeves (a deep red), so I’m going with the madtosh pashmina in Briar - a lovely purple.

Just ordered lovely purpleheart wooden buttons from etsy to go on this. :)

The Rios really stretched out after soaking. Blocking helped a little bit. 20 minutes in the dryer on low helped a little more. If I use it again, I’d probably use a 7 or even a 6.
