Well, I did have grand plans to knit lots of cute red & white, fair-isle (jacquard) patterned Blythe-sized clothes this year and have them in my Etsy shop BytheStar in time for Christmas Shoppers.
Sigh - I have managed to knit one, 1, singular, extremely limited edition, OOAK, hat.
It is quite cute and can be worn flopping over or standing up ...
My little model here has not yet been properly introduced. But, you see Bunny isn't really mine and I'm trying very hard not to bond with her too much.
One of my ongoing, long-term projects is for my Granddaughter - the plan is that when my GD is old enough to look after a "good" dolly properly I will give her a Blythe doll and a collection of outfits. There will be 2 outfits for every year of my GD's life - a Spring/Summer outfit and an Autumn/Winter one - to reflect the fashion of the time.
I did have an ADG Blythe doll set aside but was a little dissatisfied with that option and thought a doll that was released the same year as my Granddaughter was born would be better. Then this lovely "Welcome Winter" came available and ... WW was the first doll Takara released in 2008. Perfect.
Only trouble is that she is so sweet I don't have the heart to put her back in the box!
Bunny and Audrey have become great friends - two little girls together! After the photo-shoot for the hat, they decided the Christmas tree needed more decorations.
I think I'll have to get a larger tree next year!
I love the hat! Bunny and Audrey are beauties. Your granddaughter is lucky to have Bunny waiting for her.
ReplyDeletethanks :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree Lyndell, Bunny is a little sweetie and the hat is delightful ... we are all full of good intentions, but life gets in the way sometimes, maybe next year eh?

I hope so ...
