We have a cap!

After debating whether I should work on my essay about Anne Bradstreet's Puritan poetry or sew Amelia's blessing dress, I chose the dress (really not much of a choice). Well, actually I worked on the cap. I had started it in the summer but didn't get it finished. Yesterday I finished it up. Notice the cute little pink trim around the front - that was a last minute addition.
Can't you just picture the back of a cute baby's head wearing this cap?

I do have the sleeves done and about ready to attach to the bodice, but since I'm kind of making this up as I go, it seems like I put something together and then take it apart realizing I needed to do another step before the one I just did. But that is totally OK because I have plenty of time to redo steps.

My in-laws got here yesterday and will be here for the next week or so and they sat and watched me work. They assured me that I won't get it finished on time (17 days). My father-in-law says that if Amelia has a cap and a pair of booties (which her other grandma is crocheting) that she doesn't really need a dress. We can just wrap her up in a blanket. I guess there is that option.
