Beyond October...
This is project 3 from my Tuesday class that I worked on in October. It's a tube dress that doubles as a lap blanket. It needs more structure, like a bodice in the top and heftier straps. I didn't realize how heavy the yarn would be.
I made this dress to memorialize Calgary's 2013 flood. You may have heard of temperature scarves. This is a rainfall gauge! I converted mm of rainfall to inches and inches into rows. If you count down from the top, May and June were the rainiest months. It hugs the body like a river hugs the land. I feel this piece will help me talk about the importance of the Bow River should anyone ask me about the dress.
Specs:
240 rows
Panel 1--130 needles
Panel 2--20 needles
Red Heart So Soft and Loops & Threads yarn.
