A little knitting done this week...I had planned on more, and I do have a couple of 'works in progress' partially stopped because I am not entirely happy with them and currently deciding whether to give up on them, partially redo or frog completely.
I was asked to knit a 'rainbow' beret to match a cardigan I had sold on Etsy and this was finished yesterday.
I knitted a newsboy style cap for Lewis, and will be making some more of these.
His blue outfit was of course shown on Monday and I have a couple of other items that I haven't photographed yet.
Madeline got a new blue dress to go with her blue boots.
I am taking part in a KAL/SAL on Ravelry for Mini Dolls, so I'm making a wardrobe for a Madeline I am going to gift to a friend's daughter. I had planned on doing some sewing, but it seems my sewing skills have gone awol at the moment.
So far I have made another little blue dress for the Madeline gift wardrobe, a yellow one and a little shrug cardigan. I have quite a few other things I want to add to it yet, and so hoping my sewing machine, fabric and I will meet on better terms next week!
Some non-sewing fashion...
I have never taken my Australian Girl Matilda doll out of her original clothing, but decided to do so today as I had one other outfit that came with her when she arrived a few years ago. She was first introduced on my 'How Many Dolls' blog which can be seen here.
I think she was quite pleased to put something else on and go for a wander round the garden and admire the flowers.
Whether or not she will stay out of her box, or be returned to it yet remains to be seen, but it was nice to have a little play today.
Matilda is a very pretty girl, nicer than the AG doll. The outfit is perfect for springtime. Your knitting is wonderful and I like the rainbow beanie and the caps Lewis is wearing. The shoulders on Madeline's new dress is a very clever way to do it
ReplyDeleteMatilda is quite different isn't she? A fair bit taller than AG as well - I have a comparison post coming up.
DeleteMatilda has such a sweet and happy looking face. Madeline is so lucky to have so many beautiful dresses. I used to knit dolls and clothes for them for my nieces and granddaughters when they were younger, but now they are grown up they have grown out of them ( much like I did ) I am hoping to get around to making some dresses for Ayza @) x
ReplyDeleteShe is quite a happy girl. She definitely needs more clothes at some stage though.
DeleteI'm pleased you've got Matilda out of her box and her new outfit looks good. I love the rainbow beret. Are you sewing again yet or is that still too much?
ReplyDeleteI think she is pleased to be out of her box...she does come out periodically. No, still not sewing, although want to.
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you :-)
DeleteMatilda looks happy to be out of her box and in the garden. I have Emily, Jasmine and Amy Australian Girl Dolls. They are beautiful dolls aren't they?
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment :-) I used to have Emily (I think she is the blonde one?) as well, but decided to only keep the one. They really are quite beautiful dolls, and so well made too.
DeleteI'm sure that your sewing skills will soon return but at least your hands are still enjoying some knitting for these much loved family dolls.
ReplyDeleteI hope so Kendal! Knitting is a good distraction in the evening.
