KnitNZu is having a contest – by April 29, guess what sort of critter is living on her kitchen table and you could win something from her stash.
Ta-da! The lacy tank dress, mostly dry.
Pattern: Lacy tank dress from Knitting for Babies, modified by knitting in the round to the armholes and by picking up and knitting a round on the hem, then binding off in purl (hopefully to help control the curl). If I knit this again, I will probably knit a few rounds of garter stitch on the hem to control the curl a bit better, but I didn’t have enough yarn this time. This took me 10 days to knit and finish.
Yarn: Five skeins of SWTC A-MAIZ-ing (100% corn fiber, machine wash and dry) in Imperial Purple. This yarn is a knit tube type ribbon yarn. I thought it had good stitch definition and a lot more give than cotton.
I don’t think Mayhem is too emotionally scarred by wearing the dress, as she certainly made herself comfortable while it was blocking (it’s inside out in the next two pictures).
*slurp slurp slurp* -Mayhem
“Pssst. Hey, big kitty, this is that dress Mom made us wear. I’m showing it who’s boss now!” -Mayhem
“Um, May? Like the dress really cares.” -Chaos
The dress is just darling. And it’s good to see the cats seems to have survived the trauma.
Cute dress! Those kitties are going to miss it.
Very cute dress! I’ve missed the past kitty dress pictures but I’m glad they weren’t too traumatized by it all!
The lacy tank dress looks beautiful! I’ll have to check out the yarn, since the 100% cotton is too inelastic for me.
Shweet. Very cute dress.
Oh my! So adorable. A shame Mayhem didn’t model it…;)
nice baby dress. Dunno what the cats are so fussed about – it is purple at least!
10 dyas to knit eh? Well I’d best get a wriggle on with the baby dress I am making – I started three times last week before finding a patternt hat I liked and stopped joining the circle with a nice little twist! I’ve only got like three days to beat your record! LOL
What a sweet dress! Mayhem is warming up to it, isn’t she?
That dress is SOOOOO cute! It looks divine with black too!
Very cute dress 🙂 May and Chaos look very at home on it!!
OK, so maybe I’m wrong. I thought I couldn’t knit because it is so warm, here, in TX but that shows some promise!
