Ziggety Zag

Okay, not the Marilyn Manson song!, but the pattern of my new dress.

Remember, I started to knit a tunic/dress and really only managed to almost turn it into a Mobius. I had to start this dress 5! times, and indeed I must have unwillingly sabotaged myself – the reason: the colour green – or so I suspect.

Filati No. 35; style 28; ZigZag Dress

It all started with a Saturday Messenger video-conversation I had with my sister. We were talking about new projects and I showed I one of the knitting magazines I had, just for some inspirations.
My sister fell in love with it and started knitting immediately. I have this knitting magazine (Filati – Handstrick Mode – Ausgabe 35) for some times now, looked at it umpteen times – and it never crossed my mind.

Ines' ZigZag Dress

While she was knitting she showed me her progress and by the time she finished the front piece I had bought the cotton yarn and also started knitting.
I used some green in it, and I think that was not the right choice. With the 5th attempt I changed the colour scheme and then there was no holding back.

My version

I also changed a bit the upper part, but I am not quite sure if it will stay that way – but for the moment it will do.
A proper photo with the two of us wearing the dress (well, each her own dress) will follow soon.
