Denim Pinafore

Pinafores have always seemed so romantic to me. For little girls, of course. I would look ridiculous in one. But if you are a lady of three, you should wear a pinafore as often as possible.

Here is a WIP shot of a denim version from Erika Knight's Simple Knits for Little Cherubs. I began knitting this project last Sunday, and I am astonished to be almost up to the armhole decreases on the first side. All that progress was made despite the fact that I forgot to bring an extra ball of yarn on my trip to Hong Kong this week. Of course I ran out and had nothing to do on the 3.5 hour trip back to Beijing.



The pattern calls for six balls of denim yarn for the 2-3 year old size (smallest one), but I have 5 balls of one color and one ball of a darker color. I have decided to try inserting a darker stripe across the chest and later adding some silk ribbon daisies on the front. Really a design feature and not a cheap-o strategy, right?
