Naughty knitter?
I'm being naughty now. I'm supposed to be packing to go to the Isle of Wight for the weekend, but instead I'm adding knitting patterns to Ravelry and eating cake. Tut tut!
These are some outfits for my 12" Bethany that I finished last year.

Dashing Diamonds for Amber
Another lovely pattern by Becky Colvin - this cardigan turned out great but the instructions needed a bit of editing for mistakes. My advice is; follow the chart for the body and it will all be fine. :)
I love the zip detail.
I need to make an outfit to go with this cardi. I don't know if it will find its way to eBay or not. I usually end up selling the things I've made but it really suits my new Amber, so I'm not sure. Anyway, I've cut out a pair of grey cargo pants so watch this space for pics :)

Frisson D'Avril - Chloe's new, er, old suit!

Wow, I actually finished this back in May - Chloe has been standing around glaring at me for months waiting for her photo to be taken. I bet she'd like something new to wear now! ^_^

Ever since I was a little girl I've enjoyed making things - mostly for dolls.
Over the last ten years or so I've used my skills as a professional handknitter for an English sweater company and sewn and knitted clothes on eBay for collectable fashion dolls. I haven't kept many of my own creations - imagine a row of naked, disappointed-looking dolls and you wouldn't be too far from the truth :)
But since I got married in 2010 I have actually started to keep my own work. My head has been warm this winter due to my sudden passion for knitting hats, and my dolls are dressed for the season! Some of my cross-stitching is decorating the hall in my house, and the chairs in the kitchen have been recovered.
I'm having a great time doing things for me, but I still want to share pics and chat about my crafts (my husband can only admire a dolly sweater so many times before it gets silly) and that's the reason for this new blog.
I hope you will enjoy looking and maybe leave me a comment or two.
Thanks :)
