Now just two sleeves to do. But I am used to the lace pattern now so they shouldn't be too hard. I'm very glad I knitted the body first.

Unfinished......

Poncho!!

Why?

Because I thought it was a good idea way back then! When Tyler and Gene and Alex had cowboy outfits and horses and lived on the ranch. They would need a poncho to keep warm at night. Plus it was intarsia and had lots of colours and looked fun to make.



I knitted it up really quickly and then left it. All those ends to sew in defeated me plus fringing to make as well!!!!






I wonder if Elkie will like it. Keep her warm at night in the canoe!

Uptown Girl




The new Dollswest pattern is up, inspired by the cover sweater, Verena Knitting fall 2008. I prefer the neckline on the cover sweater and if I make this will adapt it that way.

A lovely surprise!

A friend sent me this fab little jumper. It's so soft - lambswool with a bit of cashmere. I love the bead details on the cuffs.



Turquoise is also a favourite colour of mine.

I bought this jumper from Gill a few weeks ago. I had to sew the poppers on though!!!
It's so soft and very Jemini.

WIP:  Challenge sweater - week 14

A quarter of the year gone! I have reached the armholes and completed the right back. It looks very narrow to fit an SD size doll but it is very stretchy.

Striped dress

I wanted Karrosel to have a dress to match her stripey socks. Though I finished knitting it a while ago, I've not long made it up and sewn on the poppers.

Karrosel

I think she looks quite the cutie!

Cable Hoody!




Knitted this hoody from a Dollswest pattern (#155). Though I used the same size needles and yarn weight it looks rather large for an msd, especially that hood!
A friend wondered if it will fit her doll so we have done a trade.

Edit: It fits my friend's doll perfectly and suits her so well!
