Despite my dress issues, I’m so very happy with how this outfit turned out. It’s very comfortable and cute, and I’m looking forward to wearing it all of the time.
I knit and sewed the official patterns as written. At first I thought I might have to modify Vianne because I couldn’t get row gauge with my yarn, Hazel Knits Lively DK in Poppy, but changing to a different brand of needles that run a little smaller did the trick. No modifications needed! I chose the buttons because they reminded me of the motifs on my dress. Unfortunately they’re a little too small and I might need to swap them out eventually, but don’t they tie everything together well?

This year we have four sets of prizes. Each of the four randomly selected winners will get two Untangling Knots patterns, one pattern from McCall’s, and one from Indie Stitches.
