Back in 2008, when I co-owned All About Yarn in Azusa, I made a sweet little spring dress for a 3–to 4-year-old girl using Debbie Bliss yarn. That yarn really lived up to its name: soft, smooth, and easy to work with. It was one of those projects that came together without a fuss, and the colors just sang “spring.”
The top of the dress featured light green and yellow stripes, with half sleeves that provided a nice balance, neither too warm nor too bare. The skirt was all yellow with a gentle swing to it, perfect for twirling. I added a green ribbon around the hips for a little extra charm, and it tied the whole look together.I ended up selling the dress to a customer from the shop, and I still remember how happy she was with it. It’s funny how certain projects stick with you not just because of the yarn or the pattern, but because of the moment. That dress felt like sunshine stitched into fabric.
