Finally Sold

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.

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.

Thanks. Almost makes me wish I was religious enough to have my kids Christened.

I'm thinking of the special baby who gets to wear that special gown.

I wish they would send me a photo but that doesn't happen very often.

But of course. Aren't you lucky to be related to me?

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.

I'm still amazed that 45 people, I know of, have knit this and 89 people added it to their favourites on Ravelry.
