Ellin Mekko/Elli's Dress

I finished this at the beginning of the week but didn't snap such good fotos at first due to crappy light. Yesterday, however, the sun shone on the balcony for just long enough to allow me to whip out the camera and the tripod and snap away. See the shadow?

I love this little dress! It's so cute! I knew when I first saw it that I was going to have to make it. It's pretty small, designed to fit a 3-month-old, so it took less than a week to make. This yarn is nice and the colour is ELECTRIC! It's so saturated and bright.


It's funny that while I was making this little baby dress, many people asked who it was for, as is normal and natural, but when I didn't have an answer for that, they started suspecting that I was expecting!

But no, friends, there is no baby on the way for me. This cute dress does not yet have a home to go to, but for sure someone's bound to pop out a girl sometime soon. :-)
