An unnecessary challenge for no real reason!

I am a little bored this morning and having subsequently made my way to Ravelry I was mulling over all the dresses I have queued and then un-queued over the years. Add to this all the dresses I have knit, the ones I have loved and the ones I have frogged. I really love knitting dresses, possibly as the shops often don't have knitted dresses that I particularly like.

This dress is based on a Kate Davies tunic cardi pattern called Scatness. Learnt a lot about shaping with this one! It still needs some TLC/editing (I'm going to cut out the 'saddlebags' and seam the gaps at some point).

Frogged! A version of Caviar Dress which lacked drape.

Anyway! I was thinking about the Ravelry personal challenge feature (I like this) and then thinking about challenging myself to knit/crochet as many dresses as I can during a 12-month period of time, not starting in the New Year because I have time NOW as I'm not able to start university as planned this month.

My Betty Mouat dress, I only re-knit the bodice this June due to my bust shrinking after breastfeeding. Said bust has re-grown over the summer, I remember saying to Rich that I couldn't understand why ladies had boob jobs when they could just take the pill I was mistakenly attributing my bust growth to (I had been off the pill for some time due to it affecting my mood). I sometimes wonder if me re-training to be a radiographer is the best course of action as I can be a bit thick sometimes!

Stretching out my poor old Kiloran dress when pregnant with little James in 2011. The dress didn't recover from its stretching but did see my through a particularly cold winter (for the UK).

Pleated dress by Vladimir Teriokhin, frogged as I didn't like the yarn, it was very heavy. This one has been on my mental 'must re-knit' list for a long time. Shetland wool + mohair for lightweight fuzz and soft drape with a bit of memory. Below is a second Kiloran which also got stretched out of shape...

My challenge plan is simply to use my Dress bundle on Ravelry as inspiration, I don't plan to queue any dresses (I often go off them if you're sat in my queue for some reason), I would love to knit some Summer ones, oh, and have lots of fun!
