This crocheted sundress was started in mid-October, and completed on Christmas Eve.  It had a few periods of hibernation while I was working on other projects, but was a very satisfying item to crochet.

The pattern is Summer Daisy Sundress by Lisa Naskrent, which was published in Interweave Crochet, Summer 2008 issue.

I used 8 ply cotton from Bendigo Woollen Mills, in the colour Fennel (which I don’t think is available any more). It feels fairly heavy, but I think will be okay to wear – that is, if Stella will ever agree to try it on.

I really love working in Bendi cotton – I have quite a few of their lovely big balls in a variety of colours and am planning on making lacy short sleeved cardis for each of the girls (among more utilitarian items like dishcloths and hot pads). No promising a completion date!
