I have just finished this little dress for my granddaughter who is just over 6 pounds at the moment so it may be a while before she gets to wear it. There is a bit of a story behind this dress. I started making it 28 years ago when I was expecting my third baby. I had 2 beautiful boys and I was very happy if I had a 3rd boy but I thought I would knit one girlie item just in case. As it turns out I had a beautiful little boy and the dress was never finished.
When this son and his gorgeous fiancee said they were expecting I was convinced we would have another wonderful baby boy. Whilst moving crafts around I found the half made dress and put it in with the other wool crafts. Imagine my amazement when we got a facetime call from the maternity suite saying "Hello Grandma - meet your beautiful granddaughter"... but our family don't have girls , I have brothers, sons, a nephew and now my beautiful little poppet.
So the dress came out and is finished and with the new little family. They love it and the story behind it, hope you do too xx
