Due to some miscommunication, I, as troop leader, ended up with the rest of the troop's cookies in my house a week before sales ended. We had way too many cookies and I had no idea until that moment. Our troop did great in getting rid of them, and we had a lot of help from another troop, but things were dicey for a while. I didn't sleep for three nights in a row after I saw those cookies!
This happened just as I posted looking for testers for my newest pattern - a lightweight girl's tunic perfect for summer days, with pretty little picots along the sleeves and hem and a button placket on the back.
It's over now, and things have calmed down. I've caught up with orders in my Etsy shop and I'm glad to say that I can now concentrate on my favorite things - my kids and my knitting -again!
Here's the tunic, modeled a size too big on my 4 year old daughter:
It turned out really cute and I'm pleased with it, if not the fit on my daughter! (But I knit a size 6 and she wears a 5T)
It's a fairly simple pattern, but not a beginner pattern, due to a button placket on the back and picot bind offs. I knit this one in a superwash sock yarn in a fingering weight, but plan to make my final version in a cotton or linen blend - perfect for a warm summer day! Look for it in my Ravelry shop in late April 2017!
