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 Simple Touch Of Luxury

That feel so good & a treat for your dry winter skin

Stitches are knit by me with eco friendly 100% cotton in various patterns

The cotton gently exfoliates and is soft enough for babies skin

My Soap sacks are large enough to handle the big bars and help minimalize waste.  The draw string holds your soap in place & provides a easy hang cord.

Fresh Blue, White & Yellow cheerful spring colors

Neutral Sand and White

These Blue, Ivory & Sand  Spa Cloths are knit double stranded for that extra touch of luxury

making them them a treat for you and a perfect for gifting.

Customize your color to match your bath and they will be ready to ship within a week.

What are your perfect color combinations?

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!

Feelin Fall

This weekend was the Southern Indiana Fiber Arts Fest, gloomy and overcast skies didn’t slow the crowds much.

I went looking with gifting plans so I had specific colors in mind for a

Age of Brass & Steam Kerchief

Hand dyed by Lunabud Knits

We have another trip to Indy tomorrow & I’m hoping to complete the majority of it in the 2 hour drive.

 

I also picked out a some thing for me…that’s right ME!!I plan on a bit of selfish knitting and make my self a

 

ZUZU’s Petal cowl/scarf 

When I went to the fiber fest today I realized I have never kept a hand knit for myself!    Time to fix that!

I love just about any pattern by Carina Spencer & I think the tonal shading in this hand-dyed from “A Good Yarn”  will look stunning…..if I have time to complete it! 

Stay warm out there!

Playing Un-supervised in Fabric Stores

I’ve been having fun making a bunch of these little dresses

and some sweet little skirts. 

Only a few have made it to the Katidids Etsy shop & Little Trunks Knits . 

Last night I decided I needed some color inspiration & to feed the fabric addiction fabric stash.

So, soon to be skirts and dreses…

For some reason I just can’t pass owls or birdies!

It’s been a fun way to blend my 2 favorite activities, sewing and knitting. I think the garden clean up may have to wait for an afternoon or 3 longer!

A few finished knits

I’m seeing fall coming to our neck of the woods, it’s fall or drought dying trees.

So I’ve been pulling out the fall colors…

Small longies & cap.

Both are knit from patterns of Dakine Knits

The hat is “Be Peaceful” from the “Be” Series

Another pair of longies,(Blissful Knits-Pegasus)

this time with a Pixie Hat to coordinate

And a test knit “Gilead Sweater” another great design by Emily Barbee  a wonderful up and coming knit designer.  She has a fun collection of patterns listed in Ravelry.

It’s been done for 2 weeks waiting on buttons to be sewn on. 

I’m thinking it needs a pair of green longies to coordinate

& embellished with the sweater color

 

Lot’s of other projects going on, I’ll have more up in the next day or so.
