So, from the ball of Noro Sekku Lace Weight, I made this lot out of it.
A hat (mixed with Shetland wool) for Trance, a dress for Twinkle, a crop cardigan for Opal and a coat for Nessa.

Lilac revisited

I've had this lilac jumper for a few years now. It is machine knitted and made by Lyanne's Mum. I used to buy a lot of knitwear for my Tylers and Cissys from her. Good basic designs.




Here it is on Esme in 2001.

Free #11

A simple short sleeved jumper knitted in Jamieson & Smith laceweight Shetland wool, from Dollswest. I'm looking forward to knitting this.

Plain Grey

I missed knitting the dresses so made one each for Mistletoe and Wisteria. I chose two shades of grey to go with their grey, white and mauve colouring.





I might add some beading or trims to make them a bit more special.

Rainbow Drops!

The final dress in my challenge. This one was knitted from the bottom up so that the "drops" formed the heart shapes, plus I needed to work out the positioning and it was easier to work from the bottom to the top.
I based this on an old knitwear design of mine when it was my living.








I am very proud of these little knitted dresses.




Oh dear, Twinkle took a tumble not long after the last photo shoot. She is fine, nothing damaged.

Hippy Chick!

I had a blue and orange smock dress in the mid 70's and still like this colour combination.






I'm really enjoying knitting these little dresses and having fun choosing colour combinations.

Cappucino time - dress #5



Stripes! This was fun to do and a homage to Sindy's Coffee Party dress. I love brown knits!

Three Pinks


Which pink to knit for dress #4? Why, choose all three! I added the lacey trim to match the trim on her socks.

Golden Yellow

Dress #3 is in a lovely Golden Yellow and I added a daisy trim.






This will be Twinkle's Easter dress. I'd like to have another one in a pale primrose and maybe lilac too.

Turquoise

I made this dress a tad longer. I love this shade and think it goes so well with pink.

A self imposed challenge.

A new dolly came in and I wanted to knit her a welcome dress. I made the pattern up as I went along, knitting top down so I could try it on her easily. I used Jamieson & Smith Lace Weight Shetland wool in a lovely clover pink.





I have decided to make her 7 dresses in 7 days!

Jumper!

I made Smilla a longer jumper - thick and cosy and excellent for blackberry picking!





I had a scrap left over so made a wee scarf. Apologies for poor photo!
