Somewhere over the rainbow.....

Another Rainbow Dress finished! This only my second, so it's not like I've been churning them out or anything, but I'm excited anyway. This is the project that I cast on while pretending the vest debacle wasn't happening. I'm still in denial about that one, but may have come up with a way to rectify it without too many tears.

Anyway, this particular knit is done with Four Bags Full merino from TYC (my most favourite place to buy yarn!) in "Maia Jade" and I used Treliske OM in "Fuschia" for the garter bodice and the lace trim at the bottom (which is curling up so you can't actually see it properly). I love the way it's turned out. I did an eyelet row too (as I'm sure you can see!) for some ribbon. This one is the 9 month size, and I suspect it will fit her for quite some time, first as a dress and then as a top.

Such a great pattern! And so easy.... So you think that it would be mistake-free and quite simple wouldn't you? But no. It's not. Well not for me anyway. Maybe it is because of it's simplicity that I just tune out or something, but I knit, knit, knit and then realise I forgot to increase, I lose count, various other bad things happened while knitting this one too, and the same with the first one I made. Not sure what is up with that, but one day I'm sure I'll knit a Rainbow Dress that is perfect!

Have cast on something for myself now, while I continue to pretend the vest isn't mocking me.
