I've made this pattern once before... in hopes... of a tiny granddaughter.
This time, each of the 21,618 stitches were crafted especially for a Little Lady on the way...
I enjoy knitting love and hope and blessings and prayers into a garment... and this one brims over with those.
The pattern is the Clara Dress by Karin Vestergaard. The yarn is Madelinetosh Light, color - iceberg.
Of course, then there needed to be shoes...
I hope you dance, dear granddaughter of mine...
Love, Noni

oh, so sweet!!!
Beautiful - absolutely beautiful!~ Love the shoes. And so very happy you are back. You always make me smile, so it is for selfish reasons I love your blog.
Oh, Tanna. She will dance in those slippers. And many others. How beautiful that dress is. I'm so glad that knitted dresses are coming back for baby girls. They're even prettier now than when mine was wearing them.
I am gasping in awe as I type this. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
I remember when you made that precious little dress. It was ivory wasn't it? I love the color and the shoes are just wonderful. I hope she will pose in both for a photo you can share with us.
Best,
Bonnie
Awww the shoes are so sweet and the dress is adorable. She will look like a little doll all dressed up in these.
You are an awesome knitter. Every stitch is perfect. Wow. I bow my knitting needles down to you ma'am.
I love the color of this yarn, too. So lovely.
Blessings to you always
Ah. Her first knitted gift from her Noni! It is stunning, but what else would it be.
Knitting in the prayers and hopes and dreams - priceless.
I want to knit a prayer shawl. I bought a book. Don't know where to start....maybe with praying, huh? :-)
Love those little flower buttons....love buttons in general, but love those especially!
How lucky is this baby girl?
Oh, how sweet!
Your post made me smile. So very sweet. Hugs, Dottie
Tanna, sorry for too much words, it is a translation from russian of not my poem, but i like it so...
I'll knit for you life
Of fluffy mohair yarn.
I will knit for you life,
Do not lie any single loop.
I will knit for you life,
Where a pattern is from the field of prayers,
wishes for happiness,
In light of my love.
I'll knit for you life
Of funy melange yarn.
I'll knit for you life
And then give it to you from the bottom of my heart.
Where from I am taking the yarn?
Nobody ever admit:
To knit for you life,
I secretly unknit my.
I see lots of knitting in your future. I know that this granddaughter will always be decked out in the most precious outfits a grandmother could possibly make.
I'm thrilled for all of you, to have this baby girl on the way.
Gorgeous!

This post is brimming over with LOVE! One very blessed grand daughter (and grandma).
This gift Tanna is such a SPECIAL, SPECIAL gift! My Nana knit beautiful things for my children and although I save them for THEM to pass along to THEIR children I will even then have trouble passing them along to them!!! They are so very precious!!!
can't wait to see photos of her in it...there has to be matching shoes....
You are an amazing knitter!! These are fit for a princess. Wishing all of you happiness and much love!
Such wonderful news, Tanna! Congratulations! The mint green dress you knitted is exquisite!
My daughter will find out what her baby will be by sonogram at the end of this month...a very exciting moment!
I can just hear all of the oohs and ahhs that precious outfit is going to receive once it's given! That is so beautiful and I'm sure will be a forever keepsake even after it's outgrown. You are one talented lady to be able to make that!
That is it....I am not coming here without Kleenex from now on!!!!!!!! Of course the tears fighting their way to the surface is for praise.
This is just adorable..just soooooooooooooo precious, and graced by her grandmother's hands and prayers...oh those little feet, prayed over...how awesome!
Oh my goodness... that is the sweetest thing ever. And those shoes... adorable!! What a precious treasure made with love!
Such a beautiful and delicate dress! Love the shoes, too. Congrats on a granddaughter!
What a delighful dish of eye candy this morning. I love the color, the sweet buttons and all the love that went into every stitch. Someday when she is much, much older, I can see her taking this sweet dress out tissue paper and proudly passing it on to her granddaughter. It will be part of her story. :-)
Good Morning Tanna...
you amaze me! What a beautiful little dress and booties!
This new little granddaughter of yours is going to be the best dressed baby in the city, and certainly the most loved :)
You bless your family with your talents, and most certainly, with your love.

Beautiful! And she will look so sweet wearing it. Love the shoes too. That pattern is in my stash somewhere; gotta find it!
Love the dress and shoes! I had wondered what you had on your needles. I would really like to try this one sometime. I looked for the pattern alone and did not find it. There is going to be one lucky little girl that wears this!
Oh my gosh Tanna the shoes are exquisite. Congratulations on the darling girl! I know you will be the perfect grandmother to this sweet baby...blessings to you and yours.
So, so, so, so sweet. Love that pretty aqua color. Congrats on baby girl to be. Best wishes, Tammy
oops ... baby girl who is already. :)
Melt my heart... this so so adorable. What a special grandma you are.
We just welcomed a brand new great, great nephew into our family. Is there any gift sweeter than a new life?
Sending love.
I love this! What a special post. I LOVED the previous post of pictures of your sweet grandbaby. She is an absolute doll and Zack looks so in love! Such beautiful pictures! Congrats to you! Praying for you guys!
The Clara Dress is darling! And the shoes are dorable. How wonderful that you have a grand daughter on the way!!! After two precious grandsons, a little grand daughter will be the icing on the cake.
You do such lovely work, I'm so envious, I have tried many times to knit and crochet, both with terrible results.
Hugs, Cindy
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh...That's beautiful! And congratulations, Dear Tanna. I know that every stitch was covered in prayer and blessed. When is she due to arrive?
That is my favorite color. How beautiful that is - so precious - and what a gift from the heart and hands.
I sure hope you manage to get a photoshoot of her in this dress so that you can have a follow-up post. =)
The little miss will look so cute in the little dress :) she is so sweet and looks just like her papa in the face :) Sweet little smiles that girl has..... Love you Aunt Tanna and pass on some hugs and love to uncle evan :) xoxoxox
Oh, that is gorgeous! And that baby is, too!
What wonderful news, Tanna. What a lovely welcome you have prepared for your first granddaughter. I am thrilled for all of you. I hope you've had a wonderful weekend. Blessings...Mary
Oh Tanna- this little dress takes my breath away-- it is perfectly angelic. I love love love the beautiful color-- and the design is stunning. I think you may have just created your masterpiece--- and the little shoes are simply precious. She will be beautiful wearing this heirloom--
Well done !!
Vicki
What a precious precious gift. I know her parents must treasure it. I hope you will post pictures of her in it!
Your Clara is just beautiful!!!! I ordered Clara in a kit form several years ago----but the color was rather odd (sort of a green that only a red-headed baby could pull off!!!) I'm still waiting for that child; but I loved making the dress. (21,618 stitches!!! yikes!) The little booties are adorable. What a lucky baby. (What a lucky granny!!)
Dear Tanna, What a beautiful work of love. I hope all is well dear friend. Blessings dearest. Catherine xo
Adorable, just adorable!

Another work of art made by your loving hands! Sure hope we get to see her model this one!
Tanna, I'm just jumping in to say hello. I've missed your visits. I hope all is well. Blessings...Mary
