Looking for the small-sized pretties... and some larger ones too...

So. My Lady of Awesome and I had a definite win this week.

I sent her a link to a bridesmaids dress site. This one. They have lots of nice dresses in a large range of colours and styles. And I would wear some as dresses. So (to me anyway) not bridesmaid of doom stuff.


So we're comparing notes, my LoA and me, and... we both independently picked out the same dress in the same fabric as a favourite. How awesome is that??

This dress (though in grey/white not pink/white).

I know I'm spoiling the surprise. If you want to be surprised so shouldn't be reading this blog. :-P
Probably paired with a sage green wrap, like these lovely ladies...
From somewhere on the interwebz, I know not where. But I copied it, because, 'Hey! my colour scheme!'

I was also sent this lovely dress but my mother-in-law to be..




Which is lovely. Apparently she and small munchkin spent some time looking at all the pretty dresses and this is one she liked. I told her I *might* knit her a cardigan to wear with it in green. She asked if it could be grey, (child 'o mine..) but I told her if it was green, she'd match the LoA.. and then we had much enthusastic nodding. :)

So now I am looking at girl's cardigan patterns .. and trying to decide if I can overdye my grey left over Kidsilk Haze a darker grey or green... I'm worried about it felting. It felts if you look at it sideways. Which I need for my gloves.. those striped ones I showed a while back. I did post those, didn't I?

Oh shawl at 78%.. At this rate it will be done 2 months early. Which is why I am even considering knitting a cardigan for the Miss. That extra hour knitting time on the bus each day makes a big difference!

  1. Thinking about it - I would like to go yarn shopping with you so I can get the right colour rather than risking messing up by hand dying the yarn. Im 100% on the Juno Regina Stole so I'll order the pattern tomorrow.
