Finished Object: Miss A's Autumn/Winter Frock

As soon as Hannah Fettig released her book Mabel's Closet thru Quince and Co. I knew I had to buy it and I knew exactly what I would make first.

The Autumn Frock is a simple top down dress knit in worsted weight and from what I can tell is wearable for many months. Miss A is getting the 18-24 month and I think it'll last long beyond 24 months as a tunic style sweater. Miss A is the youngest of my older brothers kids and the only girl in the whole lot. When we were all together at Christmas in Arizona Miss A, Mom, E and I went to the yarn shop where Miss A picked out the color she wanted for her dress. BTW's Jessica Knits in Scottsdale Az is a wonderful yarn shop... Seriously if you are in the area you must go, it's on McDowell Mountain Road.

We went with Cascade 220 superwash. In a really pretty pink/coral color. It's incredibly soft and gave the dress a really nice drape. Plus it's superwash, which for a little girl who is 14 months old and a mom who is busy with work, and two very busy boys, superwash is a nice little bonus for her as well... I can't wait to see her in it!

The official details:
Pattern: Autumn Frock by Hannah Fettig
Yarn: Cascade 220 Superwash Wool
Color: Pink/Coral
Needle Size: 8
Skill Level: Advanced Beginner (increases, picking up stitches)
Love: Super Adorableness!

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...
