Flip-Flops & Frills
I ran over to Only Ewe & Cotton Too in Alpharetta after my piano lesson. They had a little party for one of their teachers who just had a pattern published in "Knitter's" magazine.
"Flips-Flops & Frills" by Annette Casoglos.
They had loads of samples knit up in various yarns, and there was a few little girls running around one of which was wearing the dress. It was extremely cute, a very simple design but sometimes those I think are the best. Less room for pattern errors, like that Yoke Leaf cardi which I have now fond out is fraught with pattern errors. I hate spending over $10 on a book only to find out my pattern has errors and there is no errata for it. Gets my goat!
So yeah back to this adorable little dress, some of the samples had lollypops instead of flip-flops and one was even knit in red and black and had a Mickey Mouse logo/head thing which was really cute looking. I was partial to the lollypops and might go with that on my version. It has a cute frilly bottom. I plan to knit it in this pretty Rowan Calmer, and make the frills a separate color (the deeper pink). Oh yeah they also had strawberry cake and champaign, lots of people showed up and the Annette was extremely nice. I should have taken photos but I didn't bring my camera.

You nearly had me going there - I thought "SURELY Pixie isn't going to knit something in red and black", but you're not, so my world still makes sense :-)
