I’m not actually taking a break from cables. I finished the front and am knitting along on the back of my Chloe sweater. See?
But I was working on something else at the same time: Valentine dresses for Dottie and Inga!
They were so excited when they saw them that they insisted on putting them on immediately, even though I pointed out that it was not yet February.
They look pretty pleased with themselves, don’t they?
The dresses were knit from Julie Williams’ Seasonal Dresses pattern and I used “Solid Series” fingering weight yarn from The Loopy Ewe. I worked on these exclusively during my lunch break at work.
I used the same two colors for each dress but reversed them. Because Inga has a very fair complexion, she thinks that the pink dress flatters her best. And Dottie, with her olive complexion, looks lovely in the ivory dress.
I’m not sure I can keep up the pace of knitting them new dresses every month, but this was sure fun!
Loki always knows how to pace himself.
Those little dresses are soooo cute! I admire your colorwork!

Hysterical! You just brightened up my day!
Great cat picture!! I love it when they sleep like that.
*tummyskritch*
Love the knitting but I must admit that I look for a pic of Loki each time. Talk about a totally laid back kitty. I get a giggle out of each pic.
Your honey bunnies are so very darling
Especially in their holiday dresses.
Hugs ‘n Smiles

I understand that the bunnies are knit of Aran weight yarn, but do you think that the dresses could be made on a standard knitting machine?
I can hear you reading this post. Made me actually LOL.
Inga and Dottie are beyond cute. As is Loki of course.
I loved your little cotton bunnies so much that I purchased the pattern. It has taken me almost a week to knit the bunny, unlike your speed of 2 days (oh, how I wish I could knit that fast). I am just beginning the dress but now that I see your Valentine dresses, I just may have to purchase them too. I did purchase the Piebald Boy pattern. These little bunnies are so much fun to knit and I love yours! Thanks so much for the inspiration.
that is too funny – I guess I will have to make some bunnies, too, because you are having so much fun! Happy knitting!
These look amazingly like the Bunnies from ‘Little Cotton Rabbits’. I love her stuff and love your version, also ♡
Thanks for making me smile! Charming dresses (and blog posting!).
Beautiful work, as always. Inga & Dotty + their new dresses are adorable.
Adorable! I love fair isle and these dresses are gorgeous!
Oh the little toe-pads! Your bunnies are adorable, too.
