Textured jackets

Quick snap! Just finished another jacket - this time sized up for SD.

6 girls

all wearing knits....



1) Dimity in a Tonner grey hooded cardigan. I love this style.
2) Phoebe wearing a cardigan I made based on a Teva Durham design in Knitty.
3) Polly in the Dollswest textured cardigan from this month.
4) Leo wearing an adapted version of a turtleneck sweater pattern (Dollswest).
5) Trance in a simple top down raglan made from sock yarn.
6) Jemini wears a Madame A. Alex sweater.

Polly's new jumper

I made Polly a top down raglan from some left over Noro sock yarn.





A friend thinks it's the perfect outfit for an evening beach walk. I like that.

Red cardigan

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

New arrival

I made a scarf from the leftover bits of LL Shepherd Sock in Baltic Sea plus some KSH.

And this little one arrived today from Planet Flynn. And I am completely enchanted by her. I dressed her in Smilla's long jumper and it's like a dress!






She is so cute.

Rib knit

Polly is wearing a lovely rib knit pullover made by Gill. This was originally for a Tyler doll but the stretchy rib fits well over a Narae's hands. I think Polly looks fab in it.

I do have the pattern somewhere, I think it uses 4/0 needles and very fine yarn but it would be so worth doing, such a classic design.



These lovely socks were a present from my friend Jane and they were knitted by her Mum. Though I do knit socks it's a real treat to receive some that I haven't made. They are so soft and beautifully knitted.

Two lace-weight jumpers

I like these very much. And so do Polly and Phoebe!

P&P

Polly is trying on the pale blue and white striped jumper. This is like the navy & white one (pattern by Dollswest). I really like this pattern and want to do more.



Phoebe is wearing the Scotty Maloney green cardigan. The sleeves are a little short for her but I think she looks cute in it.

Finished!

Polly - 4 years!, originally uploaded by pacific_rin.

I completed the cardigan today, bands, collar, belt loops, sewing up and buttons.

And it fits Polly perfectly!

And so is Polly.

Hot chocolate.

and a favorite sweater on a cold Winter's day. This beautiful jumper was hand-knitted by Kumi, and I've had it for quite a few years now.




And here it is on Alyss in Feb/March 2005.

Classic!

Polly is wearing a black sleeveless cable knit from an Alex doll.

Grey Hoodie revisited

Retro

Polly wears her black cable knit jumper with a black & white pleated houndstooth skirt and black bomber jacket.


Momoko wearing a black sweater with pleated Burberry tweed skirt. I just love a sweater and pleated skirt combination. I used to wear plaid skirts in the 70s.



I also like cable knits with short sleeves.

Green, black and orange cable knits from "Saucy Boutique" (2003.



Sydney in the winter white cable-knit from Winter Boutique (2004).


Tyler in the pink cable-knit from "Suitable Spring" (2003).

ByGill knitwear

My friend Gill makes exquisite fine knitwear for dolls. Tiny stitches on tiny needles.

A lovely turquoise crop top - made for 16" fashion dolls but fits Opal (Sharmin) well.



My photos are not doing the knitwear justice! This is a body suit, very fine, worn back to front by Polly.

The tie-belt cardigan

In 1981 Ralph Lauren launched his Santa Fe collection and I absolutely loved the Navajo inspired designs and these tie-belt cardigans with shawl collars. Worn with denim shirts and big skirts over frothy petticoats and turquoise & silver jewellery.



This is Tonner's version of the tie-belt cardigan, worn by Polly.



And by Alex.
