I have two beautiful dresses on the needles right now. I usually have more than one project being worked at the same time to keep me from getting bored. You already saw a photo of the beautiful Cali Cargo(less) dress, but here are a few more that I snapped this morning. This is being done in
Lollytree Yarns Autumn Sunset scrappy set.
I am having so much fun with this dress! I love the natural trim, it makes the colors really pop. It's hard to tell because it's squished onto my 24" circular needles, but it has a very full (200+ stitch) skirt.
Next on the needles is a Charlotte Dress (by
Blissful Knits) as a trade with my friend Wendy. The colorway is called Candy Hearts and dyed by
Retro Baby. I am loving this too! If it turns out well, I plan to buy a license for this dress. If you are interested in having one for your daughter, please e-mail me: rdsonntag@gmail.com.
I love how nicely the skirt is striping. I was going to try and make it a bit fuller, but I don't want to mess with the lovely pooling. Fortunately, Wendy's daughter will be potty-training this summer so she won't have a diaper to fit around.
I am taking the month of May off from customs so that I can work on some projects for my daughter. I plan to finish her birthday dress and knit her a top with this beautiful yarn from
Love Ewe Yarn.
I can't wait! I will also be working on perfecting my diaper wrap pattern, which will be available as a free Ravelry download for personal use with an inexpensive seller's fee. I also have a few more photography props to finish for my neighbor and I hope to list those for customs in the near future. So much to do, so little time!
Please e-mail me if you are interested in getting on my customs list. I have 1 slot available for June and two each for July and August, just send an e-mail to rdsonntag@gmail.com so we can talk about your project.
Have a wonderful week!
