Turquoise hearts

Leo modelling the turquoise Hearts cardigan. The cardigan is for a Dollstown 7 doll. Leo is a bit shorter and also slimmer tha DT7 but is also the largest of my msd size. I quite like this on her.
Dolls look so cute in oversized sweaters!

Momoko

My new Momoko is wearing a sweater I made for Blythe in oatmeal Noro Sekku. It's too short in body and sleeves but looks great as a cropped sweater over her tee.

I'm really pleased with this colourway.

Tapestry Leaf

I wanted a Victorian feel to this fair-isle - I have used this pattern before when I used to design human sweaters. I like the curling leaves.
A friend wants a Victorian feel cardigan so I'm hoping this will work. I don't know yet whether to try it on a yoke or whether it would look better as a band.

The hat is sized for a Dollstown 7 ball jointed doll but Tuesday stepped in to model it for me.

Snowflake

Snowflake sweater in a lovely bilberry shade (urchin) and limey green (green tea).
Sized for a Dollstown 7 doll - tried it on Tuppence and it looks kinda like a boyfriend jumper on her but I'd rather see it on a Dollstown!

I love this pattern by Becky Colvin.
