tweak, tweak

I just can't leave well enough alone. Here's wee one's bright and crazy placket neck sweater, now tweaked into a two-colored, gathered sweater dress. Shortly before I got to the point where you remove stitches for the sleeve openings, I decided to throw in some ribbing and decreases to form a sort of high waist and give the bottom of the sweater a kind of skirt-y look. Then, after I finished the ribbing and increased back to the original number, I changed colorways of the Lorna's Shepherd Sport, switching from that dark "bittersweet" color to a lighter, coordinating colorway, "neon". I'd envisioned doing the top/bodice section of the sweater in this yummy sherbert-y shade and so decided that the sleeves, which will come right into the yoke at that point, needed to be neon as well. Oh, and I'll probably leave out the placket when I get to that section.
Tweak, tweak.

So cute! I can't wait to see her in it!
That is going to be very cute! Nice job.
I love a good tweaking! Can't wait to see it!
I love little tops/dresses like that for toddler girls. that will be so cute when finished (I AM a fan of the bright colors - for little ones anyway).
I love tweaking patterns. This top is working out great.
Can't wait to see this finished! Hurry, hurry!
My girls would LOVE that!
This looks so sweet! Can't wait to see it finished. I wish my girls were still little =(
