Lily’s blueberry romper / dress (english)
I have a wonderful friend, who I have
known since our time at the midwife education. When I was expecting my 5th
child, we decided that she should be my midwife, once the baby was due. Even
though I gave birth in the middle of the night and in between her two shifts,
she was there and made this birth experience for both me and my husband
absolutely amazing.
One year later, she gave birth to her
little daughter, Lily. But at that time, we were living too far apart from each
other for me to return the favour of being my friend’s midwife.
But being the knitting-mom that I am, I
gave my friend a little romper. The romper was designed for Lily right that
summer, when we had loads of blueberries on our farm in Norway, so it was
inevitable, that the design was inspired by this fact. That’s why the romper is
called Lily’s blueberry romper.
Lily’s blueberry romper is knitted in soft
and wonderful 100% ecological merino wool. If you choose to knit with
ecological yarn, you avoid having unwanted chemicals at your hands, let alone
at the baby’s body.
The instruction is designed for you to
choose between different options, so you will have your perfect romper, just
like you want it.
Happy knitting!
Yours,
Rikke Ørum
