Baptism gown done!

I finished crocheting the baptism gown Wed. night and today I made the
underslip and added the final touches. Just in time...the baptism is
tomorrow! I've posted pics on both my webshots album (user name
ndjoan and on the last page of my stitching album) and to rctnp for
anyone who's interested in seeing them.

It's made out of alpaca/silk yarn, which is soooo soft....I loved
working with the stuff!!!!

Enjoy!

It's beautiful Joan - bet they are glad they decided on a baptism,
that's an heirloom for them.


They haven't seen it yet! They're picking it up later today. I hope
they will think of it as an heirloom, though.

Thanks for the compliment, Sheena

It's beautiful. I love the flowers at the bottom.
I's sure she'll look beautiful in it.

Ditto - worth saying again, even after I commented on RCTNP. Really so
beautiful.

Joan, I meant to ask - has DIL seen it yet ? Did she
realise/appreciate how lovely it is ? If not, take heart, there will
be people to ooh and aah over it and make her realise lolol

Maybe you should keep it in "safe-keeping". and later let DIL have
control over it.

I had a silk christening gown made by maternal grandmother , which was
used for my two brothers and myself. (The ribbon was changed from blue
to pink.) I cared for it for many years...until I gave many family
treasures to DD.

Apparently she still has this gorgeous silk robe tucked away somewhere.

I have chosen not to see it..............................just in case it
is ruined or gone.

You have made a true heirloom.

That alpaca yarn is too kill for, much nicer (I think) even than
cashmere.

Too right! We were at an LNS/LKS combo last week (whiling away time waiting
for dog at vet) and DH was laughing when he saw me perk up fondling some
gorgeous baby alpaca yarn, and next to it an alpaca/cashmere blend. It was
amazing - but I resisted. For now. I did buy some alpaca blend for a gift
to the DGodDaughter, and a merino/silk blend for myself.

Most definitely! It's some of the softest yarn I've ever felt.

I have some skeins of bulky alpaca yarn which I'm going to stitch into
an afghan for myself. I got it right before I found out I was going
to be a grandmother, so it's been on hold while I've been making
grandkid presents! Maybe this winter I can get started on it.
