Crumpets!!!
It's done, and it was just in time for Vivienne's 4th birthday.
the pattern: chiagu.com
the yarn: Lion Brand CottonEase in Sugar Plum, approximately 3.25 skeins
size: 4
modifications: no crochet edging, instead I added eyelets and did a picot bind-off
closer detail of the beaded bodice.
the happy crumpets dance!
gratuitous shot of my gorgeous girl in her beautiful dress.
This was rewarding to knit, but I had trouble getting through the endless stockinette skirt. Still, it feels like I have knit an heirloom piece that my daughter can someday pass on to hers.
I think I'll work on some simple scarves and socks now!!

Your daughter is just precious! It will be an heirloom. Is the skirt just puffy, or is there something underneath to make it look that way?
