I was commissioned by a friend recently to knit something especially for a little bundle of joy about to make their debut into the world. Commissioned. Sounds so profesh. (Someone is actually paying me to knit! I can get used to this...so could my husband).
Commissioned AND given carte blanche. All I knew was that little baby on the way was going to be GIRL. Well, I've got quite a few designs floating around up here in the knit-by-nat noggin just waiting to make their way across the needles and onto some paper. I wanted a guaranteed "Oh My God! Soooo Cute!!" reaction and thought of no better conduit of said reaction than through a tutu.
Complete with lace, ribbon and bead detail, along with a matching ruffled diaper cover.
Et voila. My favourite finished item to date...one that I am truly proud of.
And when it came down to a title for my little creation I could think of nothing more fitting than the name of the its intended recipient. Welcome to the world, Emma. A princess is born, no doubt.
