Dresses for the Evening in February

February was the month for me to prepare for the Stepping in Atlanta.  They were having two nights of evening dancing.  The first night was an Red and Black Affair and the second night was Formal Wear.

I was preparing for my dress prior to Vogue Knitting Live in New York.  I knew the marketplace would have the colors that I wanted.  I was surprised that Trendsetter had this yarn in the box called Transitions.  It was amazing.  It gradually went from red to black. (The front of the dress is made in this yarn.  I started in a circle for many rows and then work on sides of the circle.  This was the perfect yarn for the dress.  The other yarns for the back was Tess Designer Ribbon Yarn in Black, Koiku in a red glitter and  Brazen Stitchery Duet Sock Shorty Stripe  Red/ Black  Variegated Yarn.  These four yarns created my dress.

 The front of the dress is made with Transitions

The back uses the other three yarns.  Koigu is in the middle surrounded by Brazen and the bottom is Tess Designer Ribbon yarn.

 For the second night, I wore an oldie but goodie dress.  I had not worn the dress in five years and it would still look good to wear.  I used various black and white yarns to create this dress.
