Intricate and Icelandic

My two Unoas have new sweaters.
I used a Becky Colvin pattern sized for Lark and Wren - "Intricate and Icelandic" - kept the same stitches, made length to fit unoa, added a fairisle border to the body and sleeves. Knit Pick Palette Peruvian wool.

















I LOVE these sweaters, they look so real!

That old mohair

I came across this old mohair jumper that I'd made years ago! I had actually taken the sleeves out at one point to use as arm warmers! It's supposed to fit a Tyler doll but I made it too big and as you can see here it fits my Zero!
I put the sleeves back in and like the three-quarter length.

New dress

Just finished making a Blythe dress from some left over bits of Noro Sekku, hence the stripes.
Ah, I need to sew it up though! LOL!

WIP: fairisles x 3

Started knitting with my new Knit Picks Palette and I am loving it!
I am making two cardigans from Becky Colvin's "Verstile and Variegated" pattern (the blue and the almond) and the cranberry one is Dollswest pattern again.

Another favourite

I love this mustard cardigan, even though I say so myself! I like the colour and style and yarn and buttons!

Second one!

I've made another one! I really enjoy doing this pattern and love working fair-isle again.
Dollswest free pattern #20
Jamieson & Smith Shetland laceweight wool.
Colours - chocolate, heathery blue and peach whip!














I think this suits Dimity so well and she looks so lovely!

New jumper!

Finished the fair-isle jumper.
Based on a Dollswest free pattern #20.
I made the sleeves longer and changed the neckline.

WIP: Fairisle finished

Finished the knitting, now need to sew it up. I'm really quite proud of this!

Knit Picks Palette

My order from "Great British Yarns" arrived this morning! Fourteen balls of Knit Picks Palette. I had a very hard time choosing the colours, wanted to get just enough to take advantage of the free shipping!



cream, gosling, green tea, alfafa, tidepool, blue note, almond, fairytale, hollyberry, bittersweet, coriander, ice lily, comfrey, pumice.

I can't wait to start knitting with it!

WIP: Fairisle progress

Adding in sleeves, this is so exciting!

wip: fair-isle

To get back into dolly knitting I started a fairisle yesterday. It is sized for a Marnie doll, (whatever size that is!). It's been very relaxing to do, I enjoy fairisle knitting very much.
This is the body (all in one back and fronts) and Brenda is helping to hold it down while I take the photo!
