Embellishments!

I had some fun & added some little embellishments to the Sedona Dress:

New Dress Pattern in the Works!

I've been busy at work on a new baby dress pattern! This one is a cinch to knit up & takes very little time to do. It is worked from the bottom lace edge up to the waist band in the round & then it is worked flat from back to front. The wide boat neck allows for no closures! 

I'm thinking of adding a little flower to one shoulder to incorporate a little more of the red, but I haven't decided which flower pattern to use. I am open to suggestions. 

I tried out a new design process that I'm pretty proud of. It allowed me to write the whole pattern at one time, so I'm ready to begin testing! 

 In a few months I'll have a much better model, don'tcha think? Although, she may be a bit less willing than Teddy here...

The yarn is Spud & Chloe Sweater again... What can I say? I am obsessed! It doesn't help when they have adorable color names like the two I chose "grape jelly", and "barn". How can a girl resist?!

The Olivia Ruffle Tank

I am about to begin pattern testing on my newest design called the Olivia Ruffle Tank. It is named after some little cutie I know named Olivia. Who could that be??? (*hint - it's my niece) 

It has taken me over a year to write this pattern, so I am hopeful that all will go well. With my crazy year at work (33 ten-year-olds is nothing to sneeze at) and preparing for the new baby, that didn't leave much time for knitwear design. I'm on a role now, though, and I can't wait to keep it going! Here it is, the Olivia Tank:
