Knitting for the NICU

Shades of Summer Dress for Niece Myia's Easter Dress

What have I been up to the last several weeks?  Knitting up this adorable Easter dress for Niece Myia.

I really love this pattern:  Shades of Summer Dress designed by Elena Nodel, a free download on Ravelry for sizes 3 months to 6 years and worked in sport weight yarn.  It's an adorably light little spring or summer dress.  However, since we live in southwest Missouri where Mother Nature is Bipolar....we added a little turtle neck top underneath for some warmth on this very cool spring day.

I'm pretty sure Myia likes it too, from this face  which tickles me pink (or aqua):
