Ginny's new dress 2

That's better! We've just been to a doll meet and Ginny was pleased to show off the dress.

I have a few more colours in the Anouchka - a soft pink, toffee brown, teal blue. Plus more green. I might make a little cape or cardigan to go over the dress.

Ginny's new dress

I started another woolly dress a few days ago, this time in thicker yarn - Phildar Anouchka - and on size 2.75mm needles. And this time it fits the Dollstown body! Just have the ends to sew in. Oh, but Ginny is looking a bit mopey.

Ginny: Day 27 - cosy


Ginny: Day 27 - cosy, originally uploaded by pacific_rin.

I love this sweater on Ginny. It was handknitted by my friend Jane's Mum.
It's so beautiful and a lovely rich wine colour.

Ginny: Day12 - "will this fit me?"

I'm knitting another dress - on smaller needles and thinner wool so I hope it will still fit ! The wool is Rowan Donegal Lambswool Tweed in Lime.

Musedoll sweater

It's mine! Jane was selling one on DR so I snapped it up!





Lucille got to try it on first but I still want to put it on a Zero (Lorelei).

woolly anouk

I've made Anouk a skirt based on an old pattern from the sixties. I wanted it to look oversized for her. She finds and steals her clothes (I don't ask) and she found this was made for a girl a bit bigger than her but she wanted it anyway.


I wanted it to look "vintage" so I wasn't bothered about scale or thickness of yarn. Just used 4-ply on size 10 needles for quickness. I added the braces.

WIP: for Anouk

Anouk is hiding? or helping? She is sitting on a WIP.

Snow fairy

I don't know who made this coat but I absolutely love it. It looks to have been knitted in Shetland wool. I have a fondness for knitted coats - I'm still a 70's girl at heart.

The green jumper was made by me, the orange jumper bought from LyanneNZ and the orange hat is an Ugli-Knit!

Miniature version of "Reveal"

reveal sweater for Rime

reveal sweater for Rime

I used Rowan LWDT in Oatmeal on size 2mm needles. I wanted it to look chunky. The cables aren't quite what I wanted, not enough twists and tooooo chunky. I need to revise that bit but overall I'm pleased with how the sweater looks on Rime.

Here is Sinéad wearing it at a dolly meet.

Beatnik

Sinéad's a beatnik. I always had my suspicions!

Yummy, Hepburn style black with black.

The result - good!

And here are snaps from the doll meet and Kalia's new hoody fits!





I also made Flynn a couple of scarves and Kalia is wearing one here.



This is the other scarf - a curly whirly one made in kidsilk haze.
