Knitting for Anastasia

Before Ana was born her mummy and I went shopping and found some beautiful soft coloured yarn 

As soon as I saw it I knew exactly what I wanted to make with it 

I had printed a free pattern for a dress years ago, and although I loved it 

I hadn’t made one as it seemed way above my skill set 

But having found the perfect yarn, and wanting to make something special for the newest 

Granddaughter I decided I’d give it a go. 

I was hoping I’d be able to get some help from the ladies at knitting but alas because of lockdowns I was left to my own devices

Then half way through I had the jumpers Lyn wanted me to finish so the dress was put aside so I could work on those  

I finally got it back out just over a week ago and worked periodically on it 

I was up to the bottom of the skirt and i needed total silence to work on it 

I knit saying watch stitch as I do it because I need to really concentrate lol 

Today I finished it and I’m so glad I decided to make it a bigger size 

It will probably fit Ana when she’s around one 

I hope her mama likes it 

It’s not perfect. There are mistakes that I have corrected throughout and some I haven’t 

But overall I’m proud of myself 

I pushed myself way out of my comfort zone 

If I ever make another one it’s going to be way into the future 

But I don’t see it happening to be honest, I like to craft and listen to my audiobooks or watch a movie and

You cannot do this pattern while doing any of that 

Hopefully your all well 

Stay safe 

See ya
