The Hush Dress is Done!!

Updated - here is the real photo of the Hush dress after a long day of knitting, work, dinner and going out - I still love it!!

Yes, its true - the Hush dress is finally done and I am wearing it today!! I swear I will update this post later with a decent photo of it on - cuz I actually LIKE it!! Don't sound so amazed - mr.sunneshine said. But I am amazed! After all the work and toil - I was sure that I wasn't really going to like it or like wearing it. Plus at the end of the project, it was pulling teeth to get the straps done. Oh. I am so happy!!
I did just put one bow at the bottom, not the four suggested by the pattern, it was too much going on... Otherwise, I would recommend the pattern. I think if I hadn't knit it 1 and a half times, I would have been much more psyched about the end of the project! Yippee!! Done!! Done!! Done!! And I think I will be knitting small projects for a bit...

I have already started these tidal wave socks from SWTC with Tofutsies sock yarn, gifted to me by my PRGE pal SpinalCat! I LOVE how these are working out!! I love the stripes, they are knitting quickly despite the size 1 needles and the yarn feels amazing!! Thanks again, Amy!!

Happy Knitting!!

that dress is hot, i could definetly see myself making somethihg like that for myself. after thinking for awhile with what i could make with that rowan r2 rag in black i won on PRGE, ive decided to make a cute little short skirt. i think it would turn out pretty cool, and go well with some sweet stockings.
