Toddler Dress

This dress turned out just too cute! It was really easy to knit (yeah, it's from a "beginner" book) but with the eyelets and back button placket, it makes it look a little more sophisticated.

Recipient: Victoria, the one-year old daughter of a colleague (made back in April 2004.) Alas, it doesn't fit her anymore, and I don't have a picture of her wearing it, but I promise, it looked adorable on her!

Below is a view of the back.

Bolsas

On the left is a felted lunch-bag style purse. The handle acts as a drawstring of sorts. The "G" panel is also an exterior pocket.

Date: 2004

Patterns: I don't remember!

Yarn: Brown Sheep Bulky for both, I think.


Below is a tote with sewn on handles. It biased when it was felted, and had to be stretched and pulled a lot. Actually, after I took the picture, I cut off the flap and resewed it in the correct position, because it had gone so askew! It's really pretty ugly. . . oh well, my first felting project has left room for improvement!
