I kept putting Thing 4 down because I wanted a shot of her ambling off into the sunset, and realized too late that, as Eric said, I'd created a monster. She crawled into the water. She walked into the water. She did everything but cartwheel into the water. Her siblings were already neck-deep, which is a feat, given how shallow the water is, but they're steadier on two pins than she is.
They all also got tan lines, even though we were at the water at 6:30 pm. What is with this? Good skin or global warming?
Pictures taken, kids thoroughly wet, we headed home where I sewed the second button onto what has become known, thanks to Suzee, as "Neapolitan." While the colors are off in the picture, it's pink, white, and sort of an ecru. I promised the girls tank tops out of Sugar'n'Cream, and just sort of winged this one. Thing 2 has asked for one just like it, while Thing 1 has slightly different ideas. We'll see how they play out. If I finish them all in time, they're going to be my World Cup project.
For this one:
I am not wild about the gauge, but it's so cute I feel a sugar rush when I see it.

And the back. The buttons are little rosebuds.
I'm contemplating knitting little lace-edged bloomers to go along with it. Stop me before I stick a bow to her head with Karo syrup!

Man, I have NEVER seen color that off, and as you know I struggle mightily with it!
It really is Neopolitan ice cream colored, readers! And ast S says, absolutely adorable, especially on its recipient!
What a darling little girl. She looks so cute in her top.
That's very, very cute!
yum. yum. yum. She is gazillions sweeter than ice cream, and that's an awesome FO.
I can FINALLY see pics on blogger.
You have to do the bloomers! adorable... She's wonderful!
She might need a little hat to go with her bloomers. What a cutie pie. Come to Tasmania, you will know about global warming. I can't go outside for 20 minutes without burning. Get me away from Antarctica!
Yikes! You post faster than I can keep up with you!
I'm all about the lifejackets - I actually wear them when I go to the pool (blush) as I have an irrational water fear and it's taking me wayyyy too long to learn to swim.
Hey, a baby picture! It makes me uneasy when you say you "winged it" on things that are far above my knitterly comprehension level. But good for you. Besides, you're right - that dress is better than all the fructose in the world....
Most definitely very sweet! I did a play off of Katja this weekend and I'm planning on doing the ribbon thing to make it fit a bit longer as well.
Too cute! I love the rosebud buttons.
That dress is so cute, my voice would do that high squeaky thing if I told you in person how cute it was!
