gee whizzy!!!

I was totally amazed by the response to my little competition!  A huge thank you to everyone who entered, I now have a plethora of ideas. It's nice to know that people do pop in and visit.

So do I have a winner?

Not as yet, but I do have a shortlist of four possible names, probably down to two.
So I'm getting there.
I'm going to make Andy and Lily make the finalish decision tonight.

So now the name is closer so is the pattern.

Last week I was knitting up the second prototype for the dress version. I knit it in some Utiku Multicolours "boysenberry" that I  have had hanging around since Lily was in nappies, so quite some time. I am quite intrigued by the colour changes in the utiku and I love the way it pools in places. I used to have quite a little stash of this stuff. Now I have none.

But Lily does now have this rad little dress with a cute pocket for keeping those little artist hands warm in winter.

I actually think this is becoming one of my favourite knits. I've already knit the pattern to death it seems; the toll, 4ply singlet x 1, 8ply singlet x 3, 10 ply vest x 1, 10 ply singlet x 1, dress x 2 = 8 knits!
