I’ve made a start on the Seashell and Posies Dress from Spring 2007 Interweave Crochet, to fit Miss Stella next summer (giving myself over a year to complete it)!

I’ve never crocheted something like this before.  It’s started quite well though, and I’m enjoying the challenge of following a more complex pattern and of making something to fit a specific size (unlike scarves).  The yarn is 4 ply cotton from Bendigo Woollen Mills, in lavender, and I’m going to do the trim in the rose pink cotton in the photo.  I wonder how long it will take me to finish this?  The blog may be quiet in the meantime!
