What a cute little dress! I absolutely love this little thing and the pattern was really easy to follow and just came out great. I can't wait to see the look on my sister's face when she sees it. I am also making some itty bitty booties to go along with it. Hopefully they will be done in time. They are little, they shouldn't take too long. I need to find some little brown buttons for them.

Only changes I made was leaving off the buttons on the collar and using a ribbon instead. Also, only two garter sections on the hem due to yarn running out. I made the 6 mos. old size dress instead of the three month in the hope that the dress will get more use that way. We shall see.

Bad Knitter

I am a bad, bad knitter. I have not picked up my sticks in what feels like forever. It's not like I have nothing to knit. I have tons of projects I want to do, unfinished stuff that needs finishing and gifts to knit before I go to CA in 2 weeks. 

What is wrong with my motivation?

I found a baby cardigan in one of my books to make for my sister's baby that is due in August. Must get started on that. It looks nothing like the photo of one she saw in a store, though. One she wants me to make despite having told her it is crochet not knit.

Here is a picture:
Do you all have any idea of a pattern that is similar to this?
