Dollveralls and Longies Stocked to the Shop

Dollveralls, a pattern designed by Korin Bourdo

Knit using a color from “Little Trunks Knits”  called Yacht Club.

Sized for a 10-12 inch waldorf doll. Matching cap completes the outfit.

Listed and ready to pop in the mail

Longies have nearly sold out of the shop this winter.

I hadn’t realize just how low till I received an e mail asking if I still stocked them!

This is a medium to large pair I’d had in the works…a mid weight merino that will be a nice weight to transition into spring.

Rather than longies, I think at this point in the season I’ll be focusing on shorties for summer.  I’ve a few pair in the works along with a few soakers and skirts. 

More doll clothes to be listed in the shop within the next few days. 
Stay warm out there

A Fresh New Year

Awaits us!

My knitting and quilting baskets are full to overflowing!

2013 was a wonderful year and I’ve many fun & fantastic customers to thank for that.  I ended the year with a few secret surprise custom knits. 

One such knit was this set

The Mama was kind enough to send me photo’s of her happy little girl

Each attempt to enlarge them makes then very distorted…but I think her smile says enough!

The second set, longies, dress and sweater

There are about 20 projects I’ve already lined up to work on between customs & I’m eager to start.

I’ve Dollverall’s waiting for buttons, doll dresses blocking  and a test knit that needs photo’s taken .I should have photo’s taken and listings up tomorrow.

Today I’m casting on a custom All in One Sweater & a simple cowl.  The snow is blowing & knitting…it should keep my fingers nice and warm.

Hope this new year brings you Peace and Goodness

Fresh Listings For Waldorf Babies

My brother in law had a few dental appointments last week involving oral surgery….needless to say he couldn’t drive so I was his ride.  While sitting in the waiting room people watching/waiting I knit.  I’ve a few customs in progress but, I don’t like taking others yarn out and about…so I grabbed some stash yarn to play a bit.

Using the last of the Gradient color way from “Little Monkey Stitch N Spin”

& patterns from Ashely Darling…

The Darling Little Romper….shorts or swim suit version for a 10-12 inch doll

The Darling Little Sweater Dress for a 10-12 inch doll

And a modified 3 Tiered skirt and scarf or kerchief also for a 10-12 inch doll.

******

A few customs nearly ready….

Finishing up a couple of custom rompers

These are designed to fit a 16 inch “Vine Baby”

Rough unblocked progress photos for the Mama

I need to work on the eyes for this one.  I tried to set them so you could change the expression but it turned out a bit creepy to me

The tiger is still waiting for his face.  Trying to decide what I want to do here

A sweater who’s hood should be finished this evening.

  I’m using “Fleur” from Blissful Knits and it’s a dream to work with.

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!

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.
