The dress the other girls wore for their baptisms was simply not going to fit Caroline. When she was four days old, I took her into the yarn shop in Laramie to find some white sock yarn to knit her a gown. I found some beautiful white lace weight yarn which I doubled to make it a little thicker. I used a pattern with little knitted angels on the sleeves and the bottom hem, and since I was mostly in bed all day everyday, I worked on my knitting all day everyday! I finished the gown on the Saturday before the baptism. It turned out nicely, and it fit her perfectly.
