Barbie Clothes Knitting

I'e been knitting small things lately for my girls barbie dolls. They love dressing and undressing them but don't have many clothes. There's some great resources online. Here is my favourite one I've made so far:

I'm also going to dig out the sewing machine and have a go at sewing some too! More pictures to hopefully follow.

My favourite site so far for Barbie dresses is here www.stickatillbarbie.se you can download patterns in a variety of languages and there's some lovely designs. Enjoy!

Spiderman Amigurumi

My first attempt at a superhero here's Spiderman! A present for a friend's little boy. He went down well. I think he's super cute!

One currant bun in a baker's shop

I've been crocheting currant buns for playgroup! Here's my finished product. I'm pretty happy with the result. Just 4 more to make!!

Another Baby = No Blogging

Ok the title has the blog drought excuse in it. Now here's a few things I've made lately:

Winter Is Coming

I've been back on the winter hat crocheting habit. So far I've made this on for my daughter which she loves (please excuse the potty we're training!)

I crocheted it from the bottom up, checking it fit her with the first round. After I'd finished the pink hat it needed a motif so I added a flower design!

I'm very please with the result!

Rainbow Jumper

I've been busy making this rainbow jumper for my toddler. With Autumn coming I thought I should make her something brigh, colourful and warm. Crocheted with acrylic yarn and a 5mm hook it's chunky and lovely. Every time she sees it she says "my wainbow jumper" she loves it!

Toddler skirts

Recently I've been working on making my own toddler skirt pattern. I think I've finally mastered it!

Before the dreaded end-weaving stage

Knitted in the round a thick band of K2 P2 makes up the waistband then it's knitted in stockineete with a few increases until I reach the desired length.

Then I got to teach myself how to do ruffled edging, which is tons easier than I'd expected. I was so pleased with the green one I made a rainbow one too!
