Mauve cardigan

Noro knitting

I love starting a new ball of Noro Sekku - what are the colours going to be like?
This is shade #6 and very pretty so far.

Oh Booger!

I missed a cable twist. Why didn't I notice this before. Grrrrrrr.

Completed ruffle blouses

Sabrina models the ruffle blouses for me.

Edit: Later they became known as "belly button flashers" !!!

Progress from week 3

Two rowanspun ruffle blouses - sd size.



Two cotton short cardigans - sd size and one rowanspun cape.

Hoody for Smilla

I've made a sixth-scale hoody from a Scotty Maloney kit. I think if I make it again I will use the next needle size down.

Still, I think Smilla looks quite good in it.

Progress from week 2

A little bolero made in Wendy Happy Bamboo.



I added a lace trim.




And here it is again being modelled by Jinx (Dollmore Kid).
I'm still debating whether it should be for smaller SDs like Zaoll and DT Elf.



Coral cotton crop cardigan - msd size. Modelled by Phoebe (Narae).




Lime green cotton short sleeved tee - sd size.

Progress from week 1

The hooded dress slowly coming together. I did rip quite a bit back, wasn't happy with the "flare".

Here is the yellow cotton crop cardigan made up and I see the sleeves are too long for Unoa.

Sweater for a Soom guy, I think, in Atlantic and Midnight Light Tweed.

Trying on dresses that I've made for a friend. We're doing a swap.

knit, knit, knit.....

my messy work table - working on various items for stock and experimenting with new patterns.

Male Model

Grae is modelling the jumper from the WIPs post.
Just a basic chunky crew in a tweedy wool that I've had for years. It's Rowan Light Tweed in Jungle, Bilberry and Grape.

WIP: 6 projects

Current doll knitting - I like to have several things on the go - some daytime knitting, some telly knitting.....

1) a cable cardigan in Rowanspun Holly - half body done
2) a cable cardigan in Rowanspun Swarm - one sleeve completed
3) just started a new design in J&S Shetland lace-weight
4) a hooded sweatshirt from a Scotty Maloney kit - 1/6th scale
5) a chunky jumper, SD sized - just the neck band to do
6) a hooded dress in Noro Sekku - but I am a bit stuck on this at the moment, have unravelled it back to the armhole.

I'm also posting this picture in memory of my dear Mum, who passed away two years ago. I think of her every day, more so as I knit. She was a prolific knitter, hardly ever without her needles and wool. She taught me to knit but was in despair as I just couldn't get the hang of holding the needles her way, the proper way. *laugh* I miss you Mum.

Red cardigan

This red cardigan is from Dollheart. I would love to do fine stitiching like this for this particular size of doll. Impossible!

Cosy pullover

I bought some more Dollswest patterns last week. This one is the Cosy Pullover. I used Colinette 4-ply in a lovely autumnal shade. The 4-ply means this jumper comes out quite thick so it's definitely cosy.
I think it suits and fits Cicely well and shows off her shapely body sculpt.

Cable coat

I was given this coat by a friend, don't know who knitted it. It's a lovely shape but it is very stiff....I'm wondering about adding beads to it or something. Make it a bit more special.
