2022 August 'Garden Gown'

August. 'Garden Gown.'

Picture
This cotton gown is a combination of the two popular crafts - knitting and crocheting.
Both are fun and relaxing and let you create something new in the process and knit your own design.
I started with the sleeves because I loved the lace pattern in one of the knitting magazines (Sabrina 2008) - the knit looked and felt light and breezy. Then I crocheted the top - single crochet stitch. As usual, I didn't make any measurements - the beauty of crocheting is that you can always add a couple of rows and make it fit. Last part was the skirt which I knitted from the waist down - my favourite cable stitch.
I began knitting in June and did quite a lot of it at the Moon River campsite in Northern Ontario.
​The project was completed in July and made it to the photo session in our roof garden in August :-)

This garden garment is good for a cool summer day or evening. Knitting from this yarn was a special treat. 

​
It's cotton from VEB Baumwollspinnerei - cotton spinning mill - 'Ernst Thalmann', Leinefelde - still from GDR time! The quality is superb!
