Daughter: mum I need a new dress
Mum: Why's that
Daughter: I want to look nice for my boyfriend's birthday
Mum: where are you going?
Daughter: For a meal
Mum: Can't you wear something in your warderobe?
Daughter: Mum!!!
Mum: how much do you need then?
Daughter: Will you knit me one?
Mum: errr, I guess so. When do you need it for
Daughter: Next sunday
No reply from mum. She's on the floor in shock. How fast does she think I knit. A halter neck dress by next Sunday. I'm not making any promises but I'll give it whirl.

Yes, mother love and knitting love. And a whole lot of confidence from your daughter!
Daughters do that all the time and somehow Mom's always manage to come through. Good Luck, I be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

It drives me nuts when, 2 minutes before we are walking out the door, my daughter announces that 'Oh ... I meant to say, I have no *#@#s' (insert whatever they've forgotten). Maddening!
You are a lovely mum to even try to make her a dress in time!

Awesome that your daughter is into hand made! Good luck with the project - can't wait to see the finished result.
Good luck with the creation. There is a back up isn't there???? Just in case.
Whoa, good luck with that!
You know if you run out of time it will be a mini? Then she can wear leggings!
Ah, yes... that is true motherly love. Mine are still a bit young for those requests, but I'm sure they're out there, lingering in my future. ("Mom, I need a new sweater for ice skating with my girlfriend... tomorrow...") I can't wait.
Wow. Only a mother's love could motivated you!
What a great mum you are, Ally...Fingers, toes and everything crossed the dress appears! Can't wait to see it...and how sweet--young love...ah... Happy Knitting ((HUGS))
