Endless weekends & Sunday knitting


So the camera is definitely lying today, because this little black dress looks much more beautiful in real life than it does in these images, the yarn is so gorgeous, with a double knit throughout, sometimes a triple knit to add thickness and luxury, and the netting effect, of which you can't see all of it, due to shadows etc.
Anyway I'm hoping after what seems like months I'm finally at the last hurdle with this dress, My very patient Friend- Renee (a fantastic interior painter/finisher, checkout her work here http://reneekopal.com/home.html and her singer/songwriter skills here http://www.myspace.com/reneekopalmusic)who commissioned this dress has a wonderful curvaceous figure, so it's going to look a lot nicer on her than it does on this mannequin. I'm hoping she won't mind me taking a few pictures of her wearing it.
