This is Juniorette's skater dress. She likes to skateboard but definitely has her own style. There isn't much choice in hand knitted dresses to fit 9 year olds who want movement for skating but a bit of panache. I used 3 skeins of Harrisville Highland from Love2Knit to make this dress for her. Since there are no sleeves it takes about 15 minutes to knit, as long as you remember to knit at red lights and stop signs. Always bring your knitting with you.
If only she could stop for 2 seconds without freezing, I could take a clear picture but moving targets are the norm here at Casapinka. It's February vacation week, something peculiar to cold weather climates in the USA, and luckily the heated pool down the way is open for a whole hour and a half today. We're starting to get cabin fever. Anyone else want to drop kick that groundhog?
I adore that dress; the little "scallop" at each change in color totally makes it special! And Jrette is totally rockin' it! Good Job, CP!
