So, from the ball of Noro Sekku Lace Weight, I made this lot out of it.
A hat (mixed with Shetland wool) for Trance, a dress for Twinkle, a crop cardigan for Opal and a coat for Nessa.












Trance is holding the remains in her hand.

Lilac revisited

I've had this lilac jumper for a few years now. It is machine knitted and made by Lyanne's Mum. I used to buy a lot of knitwear for my Tylers and Cissys from her. Good basic designs.




Here it is on Esme in 2001.

My lovely Brin is wearing the Lisette cardigan with her Chesca jeans and Ugli-knit hat.

I also made her socks which you can just see.

Free #11

A simple short sleeved jumper knitted in Jamieson & Smith laceweight Shetland wool, from Dollswest. I'm looking forward to knitting this.

Plain Grey

I missed knitting the dresses so made one each for Mistletoe and Wisteria. I chose two shades of grey to go with their grey, white and mauve colouring.





I might add some beading or trims to make them a bit more special.

Rainbow Drops!

The final dress in my challenge. This one was knitted from the bottom up so that the "drops" formed the heart shapes, plus I needed to work out the positioning and it was easier to work from the bottom to the top.
I based this on an old knitwear design of mine when it was my living.








I am very proud of these little knitted dresses.




Oh dear, Twinkle took a tumble not long after the last photo shoot. She is fine, nothing damaged.

Hippy Chick!

I had a blue and orange smock dress in the mid 70's and still like this colour combination.






I'm really enjoying knitting these little dresses and having fun choosing colour combinations.

Cappucino time - dress #5

Stripes! This was fun to do and a homage to Sindy's Coffee Party dress. I love brown knits!

Three Pinks

Which pink to knit for dress #4? Why, choose all three! I added the lacey trim to match the trim on her socks.

Golden Yellow

Dress #3 is in a lovely Golden Yellow and I added a daisy trim.






This will be Twinkle's Easter dress. I'd like to have another one in a pale primrose and maybe lilac too.

Turquoise

I made this dress a tad longer. I love this shade and think it goes so well with pink.

A self imposed challenge.

A new dolly came in and I wanted to knit her a welcome dress. I made the pattern up as I went along, knitting top down so I could try it on her easily. I used Jamieson & Smith Lace Weight Shetland wool in a lovely clover pink.





I have decided to make her 7 dresses in 7 days!

Jumper!

I made Smilla a longer jumper - thick and cosy and excellent for blackberry picking!

I had a scrap left over so made a wee scarf. Apologies for poor photo!

Just finished knitting this cotton striped sweater for Lichen.

Noro Sekku

I have broken my yarn diet - last yarn bought was December 2008!

But I have try to this yarn. It's NORO. It's LACE-WEIGHT. It's NORO !!!!!!
