WIP dolly knits

Abandoned foxy cardigans and fair-isle yoke cardis. I feel inspired to finish them at last.

WIP: Foxy

Six foxy sweaters in progress.

WIP: Fairisle finished

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

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!

Dollswest free pattern #20

My progress yesterday!

So, because I really wanted to read "The 39 Steps", (which is brilliant, by the way!), I started three new projects as I wanted to do plain knitting while reading.

Dark green is for Super Gem/Dollshe size.
Lime green is SD size.
Pink is MSD size.

WIP

Okay, I haven't done very much since my last wip photo. This is still knitting to finish, sewing up to do, buttons and poppers to put on.
And this doesn't include half finished S.M. kits either!
I see there are still cardigans and a dress made early last year that still need sewing up and/or buttoning.

Current WIPs

I am making two lacey cardigans from the brown mix - one is Blythe sized and one msd.
The eau de nil one will be a crop cable cardigan for SD.
The black fairisle is an order - msd size.
The mauve mix is a Blythe dress - prototype and a possible sale.
The pale grey hoody (msd size), I started in July 2011 !!!!

What on earth.....

What on earth was I thinking! Knitted trousers!!!???? I knitted these years ago now - from a Scotty Maloney Kit, and meant for a Tyler or Gene doll.

There is a jumper to match but I have only done the back.

Do I finish or not?

Knit...knit....knit....

Blythe sweater in progress...

And a heap of sewing up to do..

It's a starfish!

No, it's a cardigan and it looks a weird shape. I knitted it as the pattern - the back is 3 cables across and the fronts have 2 cables plus the bands so the back is quite a lot narrower. ????

It's Dollswest pattern #176 for slim msd dolls.

Well, I'll make it up but I don't know what it's going to look like!

Edit: A friend suggested it might be for the bigger busted msds.

WIP update.

Wow, it's been a long time since I posted here. I need to do some backdates too.

Anyway, here I am at the moment. A lot of WIPS to finish, knitting and sewing up. The orangey fairisle cardi in the left top corner is for Kumi.




My usual routine went to pot end of last year and continued in January.
Well, I must get back, the hibernation, as lovely as it was, is over.

Gone wrong!

I wasn't happy with the shape of the body on this hoody so I've ripped it back to around the waistline and will have another go. I'm also going to do the pockets bigger.
See here




This jacket started off for a Teenie Gem but as they are all gone now, Karrosel will wear it instead.

Happy New Year!

Starting the year with three lacey cardigans to sew up.

Too much?

Needing to keep busy to take my mind off other things. But have I started too much?

More W.I.P.

WIP: Challenge sweater week 18

Woooo-hooooo...........I've just finished the 2nd sleeve so all the knitting is now completed! Now, just the sewing up to do.....*gulp*.
I have enjoyed knitting this though, it really has been a challenge.

WIP: Challenge sweater week 16

I've finished the body!!

Hooray!!!!

It's pinned at the back at the moment but it fits Sabrina!!






Now just two sleeves to do. But I am used to the lace pattern now so they shouldn't be too hard. I'm very glad I knitted the body first.

Unfinished......

Poncho!!

Why?

Because I thought it was a good idea way back then! When Tyler and Gene and Alex had cowboy outfits and horses and lived on the ranch. They would need a poncho to keep warm at night. Plus it was intarsia and had lots of colours and looked fun to make.



I knitted it up really quickly and then left it. All those ends to sew in defeated me plus fringing to make as well!!!!






I wonder if Elkie will like it. Keep her warm at night in the canoe!
