The thing I love about knitting pure and simple patterns is how much you can change them to make them really fab. This baby dress is not only very cute, but was a great way to use up scrap yarn too. (Pictured on either side is a knitting pure and simple bulky cardigan and child’s cardigan – can you tell we love these patterns at Tangle?)

Specs
pattern: knitting pure and simple’s sundress pattern

yarn: GGH Samoa – used up all the leftovers from various projects – I just knit until each ball was gone.

needles: Denise

changes: Instead of sewing the straps down, I used a provisional cast on, and added the straps in while I was casting on for the back. I also made sure to slip the first stitch of every row for a nice clean edge. And I decided to crochet around the neck to clean up the strange looking stitches that occurred when casting on for the body section.

Now I only wish I made it in Eden’s size!

I woke up this morning with one of the worst migraines that I’ve had in 5 years. I took my Imitrex but it did nothing for me. Could it be because it expired in 2003? I finally broke down, called the doctor and got a prescription called in. You’ll never guess how much just ONE of those boogers costs. TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS. For one pill. Of course this happened on a day when I had tons to do, a new cute outfit to wear and some new yarn to order. Not to mention I missed some cool people at the store today.

Freakin migraines….

Every so often, I let the kids take a bath with me. We’re nearing the end of this because Honor is starting to become aware of boobs. I swear, it’s hard wired into them.

Case in point: While in the bath the other day, Eden mentioned something about the fact that she has boobs. Honor told her, “Eden you don’t have boobs, you just have nickels.”

He also gave us a taste of what it’s really going to be like living with a little boy. He started leaning WAY over the tub and I thought he was picking something up that fell out. But he just stayed there, hands on the floor and butt up in the air. I finally started to ask him what he was doing when a 3 year old sized toot escaped his buns, followed closely by hilarious giggles. Yep, this boy thing is going to be fun.
