a fitting I'm halfway done with stockie, um, I mean smockie (from the second little Sublime handknit book - free pattern here). Be warned, that's a lot of stockinette there folks!
I'm making the 1-2 year size because my wee one is a big one-year old. After I finished the back and held it up to her, I saw that there was plenty of length in the skirt, so I decided to rip out the garter stitch bodice section and shorten it for a little more of an empire waist shape. Trust me, it'll look better on my babe. And a little try-on...
Oooooo, so cute! posted by alison at 9:45 am | in

awww it's adorable!! Posted by: Jennie at March 3, 2008 9:59 AMthat is so lovely:) Posted by: ambermoggie at March 3, 2008 10:40 AMThat is so cute! I need to make one for my little girl. I keep thinking, couldn't that easily be done in the round? Posted by: Sally at March 3, 2008 11:00 AMOh yeah, Sally, for sure. That always occurs to me after I've completed one half of the thing!! ;0) Actually with this one, I knew I didn't have enough of the yarn and would have to buy more, most likely in a different dye lot since I bought the yarn a while ago, so I decided it would be best to have one dye lot on the front and one dye lot on the back to keep it from being obvious. Fingers crossed that the two dye lots are close enough! Posted by: ALISON at March 3, 2008 11:14 AMThat's adorable! She'll be able to wear that for ages and ages--it will be such a cute tunic as she gets taller. Such a pretty color, too. Posted by: Jennifer at March 3, 2008 12:29 PMVery, very cute. I can't wait to get pregnant again. :) Posted by: Tiffany at March 3, 2008 12:55 PMVery cute! Posted by: Suzanne V. (Yarnhog) at March 3, 2008 2:21 PMSo cute! I think I have the yarn to make one but now I think I'll wait because of all the stockinette. I'm making a sweater for my husband and that thing is A LOT of stockinette. I think I'll need a break. Or maybe I'll add a pattern to smockie. Posted by: casey at March 3, 2008 3:01 PMAwww. That purple is just perfect on her! Posted by: kelly at March 3, 2008 3:07 PMHer shoes match!

Posted by: Jane at March 4, 2008 12:49 AMYou're right, Anita! The little robeez-style shoes are from kaya's kloset. Posted by: ALISON at March 4, 2008 3:20 PMso sweet! love this dress!
