Waldorf Doll Clothes & on the needles now

 

I had a wonderful afternoon with little people yesterday which meant I couldn’t focus on any detailed knitting.  Since play was the order of the day, what would be better than working on play clothes…for Waldorf Dolls!

Earlier I’d started a custom “My Keiki Overalls” using Malabrigo. 

And, Its Button Bonanza time!  Yesterday I received my order of solid buttons. 

I got tired of running out so I ordered 10 of each color from Ayarina’s Button Shop.

I’ll open the packages tomorrow when I have a container ready for them

Not much else this weekend, I’ve been in the garden trying to win the weed war……weeds 1 Katie 0

Have a great evening

Gradient Candy girl Ready to stock

 

I know I said it before but this dress just flowed off the needles.  The colors are stunning & I wish I could properly capture them

Size 6-12 months using Little Monkey's Stitch n Spin Worsted Merino I just looked in her shop and I don’t see anymore gradient.  I really hope she has more available soon

And the Lollytree Convertible Longies are also done.  I’m waiting on the buttons to ship.

I fought the colors wanting to stack and block but I’m pleased with how these came out

Next on the list, Custom Keiki Overalls!

Off to skein some wool

Gradient Candy Girl

As promised the 6-12 mo. Candy Girl Dress in progress. This gradient hand dyed from Little Monkey Stitch~N~Spin is perfect! The colors just flow one to another with subtle blending.

 

I started this on our flight to Myrtle Beach and was just completing the first green portion. The rest was on the return flight. I didn’t realize but there were a few people in the aisle seats behind me watching the progress & everyone loved the colors. Rich and vibrant yet soft shifting shades. It’s truly been a joy to knit & seems to just fly off the needles. I’ve a few inches to go before the lace and hope to have it done tomorrow.  I believe I’ll need to tap into the second skein so I’ll use the remainder for a matching soaker.

Also completed are the custom LollyTree convertible longies. They are blocking now and I’ll have photos tomorrow. The buttons have yet to arrive but I’ll add those when they get here.

I know it’s hot as anything for most of the country right now but, I’m starting plans for fall and winter knits.  I’ve quite a few customs on the list right now but will be also working on stock for the Katidids Etsy Shop. so let me know what you’d like to see.  You can leave me a message here on Facebook and as always the Katidids Etsy Shop via a convo.

Enjoy the summer

A couple of “nearly’s”

Nearly done that is.

A couple of Mama Updates

An Arabella Top and bloomers…Top needs trim on the straps, I cord ties and embellishing.

I took a break from working on the top and started the bloomers.  I’m about 2 inches from the gusset.  The plan is to have them done by Wednesday…..that’s the plan anyway.

Another custom  nearly done….Dakine longies modified into convertible longies. This pair is waiting for a trip to the store for buttons (tomorrow)…and the ends to be woven in.

Again the plan is to have them ready Wednesday mailing.

There have been many many e mails back and forth with plans for other customs that should be finalized in the next day or 2.  When I know every thing is set I’ll update the customs list in the order those garments were finalized. 

The Katidids Etsy shop is getting pretty sparse but I do have a few items waiting to be listed.  The next sunny day will be one for photos.

Until then, I’ll be knitting!
