Notes

11/24 - Project started. Using #5 16-inch circular needle for the bodice

11/27 - Cast off underarms. Used video on Tikki’s site for neater arm seam on the cast off
http://tikkifabricaddict.blogspot.com/p/tutorials.html

Used backwards loop to cast on new stitches under the arm. I believe the cable cast on I did for the Rainbow Dress may look better (and maybe curl up less). I may have to do the cable cast on for future Milos. I’ll have to see how it looks when I get a little further.

11/30 - Started stockinette stitch in size 6 needle. Not sure about these colors together. I sure hope there is enough of the multi-colored yarn though.

12/3 - About 4.5 in into stockinette stitch. I think I just might have enough yarn to make it the pattern length (6 in of stockinette)! I am going back and forth on whether I like the way the multi-colored yarn is looking.

12/5 - Starting hem in contrasting color. Switching back to size 5 needle. Had enough multi-colored yarn and a little left over.

12/7 - Done! Only have to block, but I may have her wear it this weekend first (if it stays cold out). The colors turned out looking really good together. It might be a little long, but it still looks nice!

Yarn totals are guesstimates based on the size of the remaining balls.

12/8 - I uploaded a few pics, but can see how this really needs blocking :) Unless it’s the camera angle, I think it’s a little longer on one side than the other and the hem turns up a bit. It fits a little bigger than it’s supposed to. Maybe it will fit her next year too, but I think I’m really stretching my luck since she’s only 6 months old! :)
