This dress is simply beautiful......well at least I think the pattern is beautiful and it is good for my zen to develop the patience to knit it LOL!!!
I'm generally an Aran weight knitter - 4.5mm needles -grows nice and quickly. This is 2 ply sock yarn and by comparison is like knitting in spider silk.
HOWEVER - the effect is this gorgeous gossamer like knit that will work beautifully for a wee girly dress.
The yarn I'm experimenting with is a 75% wool self striping yarn. My local shop stocks tons of this stuff in the most amazing colourways. I'm hoping this dress takes off as a summer special. I want to knit more!
Shown so far is the skirt. 64cm of garter stitch 75 stitch row. The next stage is to pick up stitches down one side and gather to make a skirt with the stitches running vertically.
Keep you posted!!!
