Fair-isle

I think this jumper is from a Bratz set. I kept it because I like the colour. It's a bit small for Blythe and for Lati but it's very cute.



Green goddess!

Not my picture,found on Ravely (nxtdrgrrl). This jumper is so sweet, colour is fab and the little fair isle yoke is cute.

Yoke sweater 2

This is such a lovely sweater. Cynthia's knits are just fabulous and this is also a favourite look.



I'd like a jumper like this for me.

Inspiring

I love these Blythe sweaters by Betsyjean79 (on flickr).



I love the stripes, fair-isle and cable.



And I love that they can be reversed.

Another grey hoody!

This long cardigan with pockets and hood is so soft and another classic great shape and design.









Snuggly Purrl

It's very snuggly and warm too!



The cardigan is from a Tonner Tyler outfit - "Capital Investment".

Black and gingham.

There's something very pleasing and classic about black cabled or ribbed jumpers with gingham capris or skirts. This is an up-to date look with a long sweater over gingham cut-offs and black & white boots. Not forgetting the little black and white spotty dalmatian brooch.



These next two are 50's style. The second one is very Audrey Hepburn.

Maple's Sloppy Joe

Just finished knitting a Sloppy Joe for Maple. It's based on a Scotty Maloney v-neck jumper for 16" fashion dolls. (My favourite sweater from 60s Sindy was "Sloppy Joe").

It's knitted in Jamieson & Smith's Shetland lace-weight - cornflower blue.

The tie-belt cardigan

In 1981 Ralph Lauren launched his Santa Fe collection and I absolutely loved the Navajo inspired designs and these tie-belt cardigans with shawl collars. Worn with denim shirts and big skirts over frothy petticoats and turquoise & silver jewellery.



This is Tonner's version of the tie-belt cardigan, worn by Polly.



And by Alex.

Think Pink!

Polly certainly likes pink! This argyle top looks lovely with a pink and white check skirt.



Such a fab colour combination.



A picture from the 2002 archives - Eve's white sweater and silver chain belt with Tonner's pink check skirt and Kingstate silver boots.



Oh and white tights! They were a fashion statement in the early 70s. We all wore them at school.

I do like the separate sleeves.

Red and chunky!

This is so sweet. I love the red and the chunkiness and the snuggliness and the roll collar and the big, fat bobble!

And what a cute little pout! A Dollstown Ganga.

A cream hoody.

This is also a favourite sweater made by Bobondolls and is very versatile. It's a simple style and the hood makes it extra special.





And here it is on Seina in 2004.

It's that brown jumper again!

Here it is on Seina. I love this girl so much!

Mod

I came across this picture today from Marc Jacobs RTW Fall 2003 collection.



And remembered that it was recreated for a Susie doll by R&D in January 2004.
