Finally

I gave in. I surrender and I created a blog! I actually only created this for knitting patterns. I am currently arranging my notes and blocking an adorable skirt and hoping to post it by the end of September. And if all goes well I would love to design other little girls knit items. I have all these ideas in my head swirling around and I think some of them people would actually like. So here we go...Welcome to my dreams (traume is dream in German) may all of them come true <3
