Darling Little Knits

For Waldorf dolls.

I’ve admired the “Darling” patterns from Ashley Darling  for quite some time & finally purchased them over the weekend.

The Darling  Little Kimono

Using Dashing Dachs “Horsie”

(I think… I’m so bad about keeping the wrappers)

and a button from Ayarina’s Button shop

This is a fun color which is actually very gender neutral.  Pair this with a simple spreen green or sky blue skirt and you would have an adorable outfit for any little doll.

And a Darling Little Sweater Dress

Using Micsknitz “Alice In Wonderland” twist & coordinating trim

These should be listed to the shop this afternoon. I plan to have a few of her Darling Little Rompers & shoes listed in the near future.

These are to fit a 14-16 inch doll.

Wishing you all a safe and fun New Years Eve

See you next year!

Was I supposed to be Cleaning up?

Oops!

not much is getting done in the studio/workroom cleanup wise but, I’m having fun sewing!

I had a bunch of strips and scraps left over from the doll skirts. I couldn’t throw them out…

They were to bright and cheerful!

I didn’t have enough to make it very big 17 X 20 but it will make a nice doll quilt.

With the strip sizes I was using it ended up a little wonky so I‘m not sure I’ll list it in the Etsy shop but Evie may like it.

Maybe, What do you think?

Finishing the quilting portion now

What did you work on today?

Unfortunately I don’t remember the color but it is also knit using the Mini Me Three Tiered Skirt

This skirt will fit a 12-16 inch doll

This cold snowy day had me wishing for some sunshine…

which is unattainable right now.  But bright pretty wool is not thank goodness!

This skirt was listed this afternoon

Not quite as full as the others but it will fit a 12-16 inch doll

Tomorrow, a coordinating shrug will be added.

Custom Mitts are up next 3-4 pair!

A Few Finished Knits

Just a quick post to update a few finished knits

Trying to ship in plenty of  time for Christmas there are quite a few I neglected to take photos of but here are a few things I’ve recently completed

A replacement shorts and sweater set for a 14-16 inch doll

I had donated 3-4 sets to an adoption fundraiser and missed removing the original set from the Etsy shop. I only realized my mistake when I was wrapping to ship….this is the replacement set for an understanding Mama.

Ahoy Princess Beret Pattern by Elena Nodel & knit using Blissful Knits Adore superwash.

An interesting pattern, one that had me learning a few new stitches.  It was finished with a coordinating flower on the side

Just listed, a 12-16 skirt.

I’ve just enough left of the main color for a coordinating shrug if needed. 

And a few sewn cotton skirts listed to the shop.

These will fit 14-18 inch dolls

& SOCK MONKEYS!!

And for Sara, the winner of the skirt give away…they  are ready to ship this afternoon

Here is one of her choices

There were 5-6 other shipments that went out I realized to late without photos…which really bugs me!  I’m hoping the Mama’s will send pics

One set of mitts to finish for Christmas shipping today.

Not to bad with a fractured arm, torn rotator cuff and bicep if I do say so myself!

Off to knit!

Stay warm out there

Pfeiffer Falls Hooded Scarf Is in the Mail!

And it turned out beautiful if I do say so myself.

Using Tosh vintage in “Sea wash”  The pattern can be found on Ravelry Pfeiffer Falls Hood

There are a few things I will do different on the next, such as the hood decreases.  Some go up the back and then just stop which leaves a bit of a squared effect…

A quick rain shower cut short our time for many photos but we did get a few. 

There was enough left over for a pair of “Palm Readers” from Vampire Knits

Photos today of a shrug and coordinating mitts….as long as the sunshine holds up.

On the needles now is a Ahoy Princess Beret by Elena Nodel

I’d started it in one shade and changed to this red

Hello, My name is Katie & I am a stitch marker junkie

One can never have to many stitch markers.

On the Needles With Katidids Knits

On the dry rack blocking …

Fingerless Mitts using Tosh Vintage in the color  “Seawash”

I really enjoy knitting with Tosh, it seems to just glide right off the needles and the repeats have worked well for the chosen projects.  There is a Hooded scarf blocking which I’ll photo tomorrow

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  We had a houseful of people and food, lots of play and laughter. 

With all the commotion I didn’t work on custom knits but, I did play with some color and make a few waldorf doll sweaters to coordinate with fabric skirts

Aside from the pink & red, I’ve purple, teal, and 2-3 more in the pile.

I need to find a few minutes to finish the skirts and they will be listed.

to the Katidids Etsy Shop soon either as sets or, to purchase individually

On the needles now

A sweater using “Fluer”  on Adore superwash from Blissful Knits

And a Shrug with another yummy Blissful Knits stunner

“Starry Night”

I should have WIP photos up soon for Mama’s

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sometimes the beauty

Is in the simplicity. 

Such is the design of this kerchief

 Age of Steam & Brass

combined with a color way from Lunabud Knits

Designed to be worn as a kerchief or a backwards shawl with the length draped in the front.  The ends are long enough to wrap around the neck comfortably. 

A kerchief to wear in the *v* of your jacket to keep your chest warm & leave on as an fun accessory…..

I think I need to make one for me!
