It all worked out. I was very please with myself when I put the buttons on the larger peice and they were perfect. Even the color of the thread I bought was perfect. Aahhhh.
Then I held it up to examin my handy work and realized it was waaayyyy too big for Patrick. I suspect that even the gown weighs more than he does. It’s not difficult when you way the same as a bag of milk. I carried him around for a long time last night and he’s so small (and beautiful). It’s funny how easy it is to fall in love with something so small.
Either way, it’s finished. It’s beautiful and I don’t have to look at it anymore.
I have a love-hate relationship with that ensemble. It’s the most beautiful thing I have ever made – therefore I love it. On the flip side, it was so long and I boar easily apparently – Therefore I hate it!
It’s cute ha?
Well, I’ve been so excited to be finished that I’ve already made a whole pair of Bella’s Mittens. They’re wonderful. I loved making them. Compared to the charts and the poorly written christening gown pattern, this one was a breeze. I’ll be going to Wal-Mart this morning before work to get a pair of 5.5 mm needles to see if they’ll be a tad bigger. Oddly enough, out of the million dpn’s I own, I don’t own a pair of 5.5 mms. So, that’s it for me today. I have to be at work in an hour and a half and I haven’t showered. I’m quick but, not that quick!
