My daughter ran to tell my that Barbie had finally consented to marry the Prince. It had been a sore trial for the Prince as Barbie had even moved out of the country one time to escape his advances. As it was the wedding was happening today and she really wanted a knit wedding dress (please, please, please!). No, I do not have time to knit a Barbie dress, I have other things to do. When my six year old said she would watch the baby and do the laundry so I would have time to knit, I sighed my big sigh and went to the store to buy yarn. ( How can you have over 250,000 yds. of yarn and still not have the right kind?)
This is my interpretation of this pattern, knit with Bernat baby yarn (76 yds.). I made it longer and added pearls to dress it up a bit. I knit this in secret because I don’t want my daughter to know she can manipulate her mama, but she was very excited and surprised when she saw it. Of course now she thinks all Barbie’s sisters need a dress too.

You are a wonderful Mom! That’s a great knit dress and fits Barbi really well.
And how did the big event go?
That is a funny story, I LOVE it!
she is old enough to teach to knit… then she can make her own barbie clothes. That was how I started out crocheting, my grandmother taught me and I made clothes for my dolls.
I’m working on teaching my 5 year olds to knit and they are doing pretty good.
