Cissy - Anna Sui

A little photo shoot with Anna Sui Cissy to show off her fabulous UgliKnit black hat with emerald green sequins.

Mauve cardigan

I knitted this cardigan in 2003, it was based on a Scotty Maloney basic kit pattern and sized up for a Cissy doll. I used a 4-ply Shetland tweedy wool on size 13 needles. Tried it on Fleur today, it's a little tight at the waist but overall she looks quite lovely in it.






Here it is on Cissy.

Classic!

These Cissy outfits are by Pamdora. I bought quite a few items from her when I was collecting Cissy.

I love this look of a plain cream sweater teamed with a herringbone tweed skirt.




And the green cardigan over this fabulous green checked dress.

I must get knitting.

The crochet cloche

There was a revival of knitting and crochet as a craft pursuit in the mid 70's and lots of magazines had patterns for the crochet cloche, especially after Abba won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974.

My dolly crochet cloche first appeared in 2003, part of the Seventie's Strut Cissy doll set. I loved this hat with its big red flowers and have tried it on lots of dolls since. Rin and Blythe were the first to try it.











2004 and Fleur looks beautiful in it. It looks fab over Cissy's orange hair too.
And here is Candy wearing it today.

Snow!

It's snowing here, which, surprisingly is really unusual at this time of year which is why it so exciting!

So I had to take a couple of pics in case it disappeared overnight. This is Cissy Anna Sui, wearing a pale blue cashmere sweater, made by the Tonner company for their 16" fashion doll range. Cissy Anna Sui is 22" tall, so the sweater is big!

And I obviously like pale blue sweaters and jeans on Anna and taking pictures of her in the snow as the second photo was taken in December 2001 !! Her sweater there is a machine-knit made by Lyanne's mum.
