Knitted Dress for Emma

I have spent this last week knitting a dress for my granddaughter.  She is eight months old and growing too fast.  I changed the yarn that the pattern called for, because I wanted her to have a blue dress and loved the green constrast that the Debbie Bliss Prima yarn offered.  The pattern is the Baby Bunny(also a lovely soft yarn) Toddler Dress by JoAnne Turcotte for Plymouth yarns.  My appreciation and thanks to JoAnne Turcotte for the lovely pattern.  It is such a delight to knit.

The joy of this project was putting it on her and realizing that my altering the bodice length and armholes worked out perfectly.  When I rocked this little one today and put her down she was holding the hem up close to her face like a blanket.  Sheer joy for any gramma who sews and knits for the little ones.  It just doesn't get any better. 

I have not forgotten about the Dedication Gown in a previous post.  It is finished and I am in the process of washing and ironing each piece.  Lots of soft fabric to handle ever so gently.  I will try and get it posted next.
