It's Christmaaaaaaasssss!

Jaycee and Bodee hope that everyone is having a lovely time.

I love Bodee's new Deer hat from Maidensuit.

Another glitter knit.

In between order knitting, I've made Fanny another glittery sweater. This one is longer and I added eyelet holes for ribbon at the neck.
I think it suits her!

Fanny!

I made this glitter jumper for Fanny a few weeks ago now. I used J&S black laceweight Shetland and a black&green glitter yarn that was my mum's.

Ugli-knits revisited

I came across these pictures of Karen's "Ugli-knits" hats for Blythe. I loved the way she photographed her dolls and I love her hats. I still have a lot and I'm glad I kept them as I will be using them a lot nerxt year.

Such brilliant colour combinations.

Snow Blue & Ice Green

I love knitting this pattern. I've made two more cardigans in SD size and here is Sabrina modelling them.

The first one is in Snow Blue lace-weight Shetland.

The next one is in Ice Green lace-weight Shetland.






Edit: I have sold them both!

Knits for Sally

Pink hoody for Fluff, turquoise lacey cardigan for Jamie and forest green socks for Rowan.

Zozie in the pink!

I made Zozie a cardigan - my own pattern. Next one, I need to move the buttonholes over a tad.

I think she's pleased with it though!





I adore this little one...

Nine years!

My first bjd arrived nine years ago on 22nd November 2002.
My lovely Seina.

Sparkle!

I've been having fun knitting glittery sweaters for the Blythes, adapting a pattern by Lula Bebop.

Modelling...

Treacle models a sweater made for a friend. Dollswest free pattern #8



Polly also models a sweater for the same friend - checking for size.



Sweaters flat for reference.

Luc models a sweater made for another friend. My own pattern.

Pink Mousse and Lemon Ice

A Sunday morning.

Ivo is wearing a textured jacket knitted by me from a Dollswest pattern for msd size - it's three quarter length sleeves and a cropped length for msd so fits Chibi as a jacket. I used a couple of earrings as a quick fastening.

Test hat.

Just testing for shape and size. The brim can fold back. I think one in Kid Silk Haze might be good too.

Sally

My beautiful girl will be sorely missed.

We lost our dear friend in the early hours of this morning.

R.I.P. dear Sally.
August 12th 1997 - October 12th 2011

Seina modelling

Two ruffle blouses finished.

Blythe sweaters

I had fun dressing my Blythes yesterday - they are all wearing simple top-down raglans knitted by me. I'd like to treat them to more clothes...
The brown/turquoise one that Jaycee is wearing is made from the leftovers of Noro Sekku shade #2.

Too much?

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

Textured jackets

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

Red Riding Hood

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.

More W.I.P.

Balalaika and Opal

Wearing knits made by me! Balalaika's is from a Dollswest free pattern #13 and Opal's hoody is my own pattern.





Balalaika looks so cosy in this sweater. The yarn was given to me by a friend. It's really soft and velvety.



Opal's hoody took a long time to knit - the yarn was so thin, loads left over! I really like how it's come out though and would like to buy more yarn from Elvincraft.
