Notes

This dress was knit with a long cast on of 96 stitches. I used 16 repeats of the chart pictured on the left.

I knit the dress using my usual Seasonal Dress pattern modifications found here

The Play At Life Fiber Arts yarn is always inspiring. The Pounce Purple Ash BFL Gradient Set was an inventory special. The colors and yarn were an absolute pleasure to knit with, as was the coral BFL from Blue Savannah.

I had a little fun with the cardigan. I held together one strand of fingering weight yarn in a variegated cherry color and one strand of Shibui Knits silk cloud in raspberry. It made a more dense fabric (probably should have gone up a needle size) but it completely changed the look of the yarn. Gorgeous.

The bunny was knit using Sublime Extra Fine merino DK in caramel on 2.75mm needles.
