I wanted to knit a dress. My daughter wanted a dress. The thing is that we BOTH wanted to see a knitted dress, and the question was who will be the lucky recipient. You can quickly guess who won.
Sadly, the pattern I really liked for my daughter was only in Norwegian. It is called Sohokjole by Ingunn Myklebust. Click here if you want to see it on Ravelry. I liked it so much that I reached out to the designer in hope that there is a chance of the pattern being translated into English. The answer was negative. Maybe if you are an experienced knitter, you could wing it as it did not look particularly challenging. However, at my stage of the knitting journey it was not the case, hence I had to abandon the idea, at least for the time being.
After much thought, I decided to knit a Woodland Fairy by DROPS design. It is a free pattern, and I thought I could easily knit this dress. However, it was not ANY woodland fairy but a Christmas looking one. We chose a proper Christmas red colour (21) in the newly developed yarn – Drops Daisy. Knitting the dress was fun and quick. Relatively easy lace motif did not slow down the progress. The only issue I encountered is not having enough yarn, but it was fixable enough by Woolwarehouse shipment. Apart from that the dress literally flew off my needles.
Now it is bright and shiny waiting for that festive time of the year when anyone can wear as much red as they desire.
