7-27-2013: I’m so happy that this little dress suits Nina; and it is a perfect fit!
I’m in love with this sock yarn. It is soooo nice. And yes, the colorway name works for us (mommy, daddy, baby girl)!
Stopped skirt section 5 rows short of 10” for fear of running out of yarn. However, have 7 grams left, so I believe I would have had enough to knit per 12 mo. size pattern. It was just enough to make a 12-stitch, grafted, garter stitch headband. Bound off dress with a size 6 needle using Lucy Neatby’s Conventional Bind Off method: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HPg0u15KMMs&desktop_uri=... in seed stitch pattern.
The buttons come from an 86 year old’s button box. They were strung on a sturdy old string. I don’t know how old they are, and because they are almost see-through-pearlized in some areas, opaque in others, I honestly am not sure of what they are made, probably glass. I’ll call them vintage buttons.
The color of the dress changes wildly and wonderfully with the light and time of day.
