Mod Knitted Dress

You may remember this post in which I was specifically instructed to knit the dress, shown below. Labeled "dress" since I'm liable to take poetic license and knit her a pink tank cover.  

I followed her design like a good knitting soldier, adding a little yellow trim at the bottom and a checkerboard design on the skirt. The teal bow was an after-thought. That je ne sais something. 

This is the result of our collaboration. The small person involved is very, very pleased and asked to wear it while riding her bike. Accessorized with Silly Bandz, all that's missing is an ability to glow in the dark, although we should really test that out!

That is a wonderful dress. Love the additions: the yellow border, the checkerboard skirt, and the little teal bow. Let's hope the small person doesn't grow too much bigger before school starts next fall and the days are cooler again.

Oh, and she does already have all the model moves down, doesn't she?! Totally love the pictures. Thank you both so much for sharing them with us.

Wow, wow and another wow! Please adopt me. I love my mother to bits but she has never ever knit me a dress. (Probably a good thing)
I bet she is already designing the next one. ;)
