Notes

Completed.

Found that the 8 ply superwash knitted up a wee bit more like my 10 ply yarn, so it was a bit longer than my first Spring Butterfly. It’s great though as I can use it on my 3.5 year old as well as my nearly 2 year old.

Updated 30/12/2010
I destroyed the first project when I dried it in the sun, as the sun yellowed it. Frogged it back to the bodice and had a go at hand-dying my own yarn. This one won’t suffer the same fate as I dyed the yarn a lot darker than the original.

Photo 1 is the new version of the project. Photo 2 is the old version.
