a dress fit for a Gryffindor
et voila!
well, it's almost finished, i just need to sew on the snaps in the back. it was supposed to be a button, i did the yf, but when i finished, no hole. i don't know if i did it wrong or if i messed up in picking up the stitches for the neckband (which btw, i totally love the picot bind off). the pattern is the picot dress from Debbie Bliss' Special Knits. the red isn't quite so orange and the gold is more yellow. i used red heart sport in cherry red and yellow. i know, POA pattern in more SS colors, but i like the more narrow stripes and i think SS colors are more book accurate (just my opinion). it's nor perfect but i'm pleased. i learned quite a bit doing this as it was my first non-scarf/hat/blanket project. several firsts on this. i just wanted to share. after i get my boyfriend's hat done and the afghan for my BIL, i have a Ravenclaw hat planned for myself. i'm still debating whether or not to turn my son's hat into a Hufflepuff project or not. he LOVES yellow. i need to find out if he'll mind if i sneak in a couple black rows... :-) anyway. now i feel like a real part of the community. i finally had somehting to show!
