Madeline thought it would be appropriate to show off her boot collection today for the 'Fashion on Friday' posting.
She has amassed quite an array of colours!
There is one colour in particular she would like to add to this collection when/if they become available and that is a pair of purple boots...because all discerning doll fashionista must have a pair of purple boots!
I still haven't done any sewing, although do have some projects planned and am hoping to make a start on those next week. These projects include the Mini AG/Doll SAL/KAL on Ravlery - I am going to be making a little wardrobe for a Madeline doll for a friends's daughter in New Zealand.
I would like to join in with one of the Bleuette Sewing Challenges and Hitty - I need to catch up with both these groups as have fallen WAY behind.
My priority though will probably be designing and making a collection for Lewis...I have a few ideas and need to do some research.
I have done some knitting though.
A vest knitted with some of my favourite NZ Merino, Possom and Alpaca Wool, this time in a green which I think suits him really well.
Of course he needed a cap.
Plus some socks. He has borrowed a pair of shorts from the Gregor lads to show of his socks.
I've knitted a sweater which Donny is making. This may go in my Etsy shop.
Plus I added some owls to the vest pattern.
This time in the Arapawa fleece I have.
Albert also got a new cardigan/jacket. The first thing I have made for him, so he was pretty pleased.
A few other things were knitted - some flowers - I test knitted a pattern for these and another jacket not shown here.
Lewis is definitely a sweater vest boy. Both of them look great on him.

Thanks Steve, I think he may well be as well. I am currently knitting a sweater with long sleeves for him, but it will remain to be seen if it suits him. I am glad he is the same size as Gregor, as it gives more flexibility if things don't work out for him!
DeleteI like everything you've knitted here but I especially like the hoodie you made for Albert. It looks perfect on him and it's very stylish. Lewis looks great in anything! What a good-looking chappie!
ReplyDeleteThe vest and cap set looks very stylish on Lewis - but I LOVE the owls in the second vest.
ReplyDeleteMadeline is right: a girl needs a lot of boots. Lucky her to already own such a wide range of colours. I hope she'll find some in purple soon.
Thank you. Yes a girl does need a lot of boots! Lewis loves his owls as well :)
DeleteI have a pair of purple boots which I absolutely love and wear all the time! Madeline's boot collection is fantastic, but she must have a pair of purple boots too! I love all your knitting and I really must find time somewhere to do some knitting for Ezri. I love knitted vests and I have several I have made that I wear with shirts and blouses. The knitted vests really do suit Lewis; and I just love that green! :) x
ReplyDeleteI would love to have been able to get her some purple boots, but I contacted the people who made these and they said they don't make them as it is not a colour that sells well, which really surprised me, I would have thought it a very popular colour!
DeleteI'm so pleased you're knitting again. And as for Madeline's boots - wow, what a collection, though I quite agree, purple boots are essential. Wouldn't you love to find rainbow coloured ones too (though I guess you could paint some).
ReplyDeletePurple boots ARE essential...not sure where I am going to find any though!
DeleteYour doll family certainly keep you very busy with all their knitting requirements.
ReplyDeleteThey do indeed!
