I finished the Baby Mermaid dress!
The super secret shower is on Wednesday afternoon
at our potluck staff meeting,
so I was really happy to find the perfect gift bag
when I was at CVS getting something for my
Poison Ivy....
sigh.
Trying.Not.To.Scratch.
When I got back, there was an announcement in my
snail mail box that one of the Boybird's elementary school
teachers had TWIN boys on May 11, and the pictures
were ever so cute, with big sister holding the guys...
awwwww.
Any KNITTERS out there know of a baby boy knit
that I won't be bored with since I gotta make TWO?
(Plus a matchy something for a toddler sis....)
Speaking of not being bored (or itchy)
I guess you want the specs for the mermaid dress, right?
Pattern is Knitty katja
modified with a feather and fan pattern instead of the purl rows...
Turquoise Cotton ease
knit with size 5US Bamboo circular
and matching dpn's.
If I made this again
I think I'd make the *skirt*
in the round and attach the top
afterwards....
but it is a lovely pattern and
was a JOY to knit.
Stay tuned tomorrow for a Daughter bird
story....
