When I designed my Ribbons and Lace Christening Gown I was knitting it as I wrote down the instructions. However, it was at a particularly stressful time in my life and I didn't trust my powers of concentration. So, to double check the accuracy of my pattern I knit a second Ribbons and Lace. The first one sold almost two years ago, shortly after I opened my Etsy store but, although the second received many koodos from looky loos it remained on the shelf.....until last week. I finally sold it for the price I wanted (a good sized chunk of my inventory costs) and mailed it off to Ireland this morning. It's nice to sell something at the Craft Market but I find it very interesting that folks in Ireland, Scotland, Australia and Spain also like my work. This year's project is to design four new patterns; two baby shawls and two matching Christening Gowns. I'm hoping the prototypes sell quickly.

Thanks.
Somebody also bought the circular shawl.
You're a genius, pure and simple!
Wow! How pretty and truly something to cherish! Very special....
This is truly beautiful. And if I had any ambition, you would be my inspiration. I know I wore beautiful things as an infant because my mom and her sisters were knitters and crocheters and had a lot of talent. What a shame none of my tot wardrobe survived.
It is so gorgeous and lucky is the baby who gets to wear it.
Beautiful.
I'm thinking of the special baby who gets to wear that special gown.
...wrote the instructions as you knit......?? You're amazing
This pattern is the reason we are friends I remember knitting this and then messaging you about it, I had so much fun knitting it even after 3 false starts and throwing it across the room several times lol you are an insperation to all us knitters and your patterns are fun an modern with just a hint of vintage may you continue to knit and design for years and years to come.
