People form strong bonds with pets for a variety of reasons. One of the main reasons is that pets provide companionship and a sense of connection. They can be a source of comfort and support, especially during difficult times. The simple act of caring for a pet can also be incredibly rewarding and can help to boost self-esteem and self-worth.

Pets can also serve as a reflection of ourselves, and people often see their pets as an extension of themselves. People can project their own emotions and personalities onto their pets, and this can strengthen the bond they have with them.

Pets also have a positive impact on our physical and mental health. Studies have shown that interacting with pets can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve overall well-being. Owning a pet can also provide a sense of purpose and routine, which can be especially beneficial for older adults or those living alone.

In addition, pets can also provide a sense of security and safety. They can be protectors and watchdogs, and their presence can provide a sense of comfort and security.

Overall, the bond between humans and pets is complex and multifaceted. It is a combination of emotional, physical, and psychological factors that contribute to the strong connection that people form with their pets.

A Sweet Skater Dress to Knit

I know knitting a dress sounds like a major time commitment. And that’s before I even tell you that this particular dress, the Sixth Ave Skater Dress by Briana Luppino, is worked in light fingering weight yarn. 

But would you just take a moment to look at it and tell me if it doesn’t look like it would be worth all the time you would spend knitting it? And it’s miles of stockinette stitch so it’s actually beginner friendly and a great semi-mindless knit you can take with you on your travels this summer and wear when it is done. 

The dress is worked from the top down with tank straps, a scoop neck, waist shaping and a flowy skirt for a fun and comfortable fit. 

The pattern has 10 sizes, with finished bust measurements ranging from 28 to 64 inches, or 71.5 to 163 cm. The sample shown was worked with 4 inches/10 cm of negative ease at the bust, and the designer says most people like between 2 and 6 inches/5 to 15 cm of negative ease in the bust and around 10 inches/25.4 cm positive ease in the hips. 

(To refresh your memory, negative ease means the measurement of the garment is smaller than your actual body measurement, while positive ease is bigger than your body.)

To pick a size you’d work from the bust measurement because you can always add more or fewer decreases as you need to get your desired fit at the waist and hips. And because it’s worked from the top down you can try it on as often as you like to make sure it’s the perfect fit. 

The I-cord edgings give the dress a super casual feel, and I think this would be a great one to add to your summer rotation. (Yes, even with a wool blend yarn.)

You can see lots of cute finished versions and grab a copy of the pattern for yourself on Ravelry.
