The new dress and an Auction...

I know that you have all been waiting to find out the finner details of the sneak peak of the dress that I gave the other week.  Well the pattern has been released and I can now share it with you.

But before I do.  Would you like the chance to have this come and live at your house.  Here is your chance.

Amelia has kindly offered to give the dress up for Auction.  She has only had it on for photos and although loves it so much there is a little girl who needs some much needed funds.  (and she is on a promise for another and has already selected the colours)

Isobel is a little local girl who has was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at the age of eight months.  Friends of Isobel are raising funds to get Isobel over to Germany for a form of stem cell treatment that is not available here in Australia.  The procedure differs from most stem cell methods, it will use the cells from Isobel's own bone marrow.  This treatment has a significant chance of impoving Isobel's quality of life.  Now two, little Isobel can not sit, crawl, walk or talk and any return of basic motor skills will make a huge difference to this little girls life.

So, lets have ourselves an Auction.

The prize is this beautiful dress, sized 4-5 (21 - 23 inch chest) knitted by me. From 100% Australian Wool.
Purple in colour.  It sports two lace hearts and a dark purple contrasting hem and is 21inches long from the shoulder.

Team it with stockings and a skivvy or wear it by itself as the weather starts to warm up.

This is how it is going to work.
