Knit a Rainbow

Today I shall mostly be working on this gorgeous design for little Alice courtesy of the fabulous MIllamia. This rainbow dress is an adaptation of the original colourways laid out in the Carlota pattern which features on the front cover of the amazing Bright Young Things Collection and can also be purchased as a single pattern from Woolaballoo.

I have chosen my own vibrant colour scheme as I was desperate to try out some of the new shades from Millamia including the fabulous Lime and Cobalt limited edition yarn shades.

It is a real delight to knit with this luxurious 100% Merino Yarn and if you haven’t yet had the pleasure I strongly recommend that you try it out. You will never look back…

Bright Young Things celebrates colour with a vibrant collection of baby and children’s knitting patterns, inspired by clashing colours and playful, quirky designs.

You will find suitable for all levels of knitter from beginners to the more experienced looking for a challenging project in this book. Designs range in size from a newborn baby through to toddlers and young children up to five years. Featuring patterns for dresses, jumpers, cardigans, outerwear, babygrows, accessories and blankets, there is certainly something for everyone!

I have already completed the back of my dress and I’m now halfway up the front and hope to have it on display in the Hexham store very soon so that you can truly appreciate the vibrant colours.  It is a really feel good knit and makes me smile everytime I look at it.
