I so enjoyed making Erika Knight's denim pinafore for a friend's daughter a couple of years back that I knew I wanted to make one someday for wee one. I kept my eye open for Rowan denim and bought enough for the dress right before we left for vacation. The temporary loss of wee one's clothes (another quick hooray that they are back now!) was the perfect excuse to cast on!

Just like before, I'm downsizing the pattern to be about a 1 year size. The little girl I made it for before is now 3 and I've heard that she can still wear it as a top. So I'm hoping that wee one will get a lot of wear out of this one. And since the denim wears and washes so well, I'm even making it in white (after knitting one white sweater in a particularly lovely but not particularaly washable yarn, I swore not to use white again unless was supersupersuperwash)!

Now that all my sockapalooza socks are done, this will become my new on-the-go knitting project for quick trips to the playground. Everything else on my needles is either too big, too fiddly, or too much work. Wee one may not need a new dress now, but with three more weeks of summer knitting ahead, she'll probably get it pretty soon.
