Rainbow Gradient Yarn, stuff knitters dream of
Posted: March 12, 2012 in UncategorizedTags: gradient yarn, Knitting, rainbow, Rainbow Dress, tikki design, yarn
Remember the post I did on my gradient dying (re-blogged above)? Well, here is what I have knitted so far:
The pattern is “Rainbow Dress” by Georgie Hallam (tikki), and it can be found over at Ravelry for purchase and download, or on tikki’s blog.
It is not exactly how I had imagined it would knit up, but still lovely. I am VERY pleased with it. Admittedly, this has been packed away for a while, so no further progress has been made, but it will make a comeback, and it will be completed for Miss C’s 5th Birthday next month 😀
I am on a journey. Destination? A completed Rainbow Dress for Miss C.
I am probably halfway there……just the knitting to go lol.
Note: This post is pretty much going to be all about the photos 🙂
