It's finally finished! About two months ago a good friend of mine asked if I could knit a special blessing dress for the baby girl that she's expecting. I said "sure!" (thinking..."how hard could knitting a dress for a newborn be?) She said she had bought a knit dress for her 4-yr-old and liked the style. She was hoping I could re-create it in a smaller size. One look at the dress and I said "nope! but we could come up with something else!" After searching around for a pattern that was similar, I came up with this pattern, and told her I'd add cables to the front of the dress to make it a little more fancy, and to match the other dress (a little...okay it doesn't really match it at all). Who would have known that knitting a dress that little could be so crazy! First I started knitting away and after a while I realized that it looked like it was going to fit a doll...not a real baby. So I had to start all over again. But I like the second try MUCH better and I think it turned out adorable. I hope you like it Nat! You got a one-of-a-kind-adventureknitter-original. I'm not going to volunteer for another blessing dress anytime soon! Now that the dress is done and in mommy's hands...maybe you should come out baby!!
