I started this sweater for Livy at the first of the summer thinking, I should be able to have it done by her birthday in September. With the help of a long road trip in August I finished the sweater! I had some different colors of yarn that I thought coordinated well and started knitting.
I added the ribbons and polka dot buttons.
I looked all over for some red polka dot ribbon and finally found the perfect red.
I then decided that this sweater definitely needed a skirt to go with it. Livy loves to wear dresses and skirts so the yellow flowered fabric matched perfectly with all of the colors that I had used.
This actually was the second skirt that I made because I was afraid that the first one would be too small.
So, I finished the first smaller skirt for her little sister, Sofia.
I added some more polka dots, this time in green. (Can you tell that I love polka dots?)
I packed up the sweater and skirts and off I went to visit the birthday girl!
This little girl loves birthdays! It fit great!
Should have got a picture of both of them in their skirts.
She wore her birthday outfit all day.
Happy Birthday Livy girl!
So glad you are in my life!

I love that outfit! The colors are so cute on her.
Oh my gosh - the pair are BEAUTIFUL!! Seriously, each piece is fantastic in its own right, but the two together are just lovely. The only thing cuter is the model wearing them!
She is a beautiful little girl in a beautiful little outfit. Just may be the best dressed little girl in town. What a wonderful sweater and skirt. Hugs, Gayle.
