Happy Halloween from Riley, Tulah, and Zsu Zse!

 

20 group halloween 2005These sweet little dolls came to your house to trick-or-treat.  Do you have any candy for them?

I dug this photo out of my archives.  I made these outfits in 2005!  Gosh, I cannot believe it’s been eight years.  The sweaters are crocheted.  I remember making the little candy corn buttons out of artists clay and then painting those tiny pieces with my tubes of acrylic paint.

Back in 2005 (and for the next four years) these Kish littles were primarily the dolls I was dressing.  Botanic Riley was my first “expensive” collector doll.  I cannot remember exactly how much I paid for her, but she was in the low $100’s.  I thought I would never spend more on a doll.  Well, things have sure changed…

Patience & Amelia Thimble Model New Sister Set

Fall & Pretty Sisters 361

Fall & Pretty Sisters 377

Wilde Imagination’s Patience and Amelia Thimble dolls are here to show you their brand new sister set that I just completed for them.  I used this corduroy print once last year making an outfit for Helen Kish’s Bethany doll and loved working with these colors so much that I decided to use it again for Patience.  Of course if Patience gets a new outfit then Amelia gets a coordinating set too.  The embroidery on this set is a different stitch for me.  Because the flowers are pastel on a darker yarn I had to make them more solid so they would show up nicely.  I put a lazy daisy stitch around straight stitches and was very happy with the end result.  Does anyone know if this stitch has a name?

Patsy’s New Fall Outfit

Tonner’s Patsy doll has a new sweater and skirt set that she wants to model for you.  I tried something different this time and made her a gathered skirt with an a-line sweater.  This corduroy print is so pretty with so many different fall colors.

I picked out seven colors of wool for the sweater.  Who could pick just one???  Yes, the weaving in of the ends was a lot of work, but well worth the effort, don’t you think?  I thoughtfully arranged the stripes to look their best and got to repeat the first three colors once more.  The sleeves and body came out the perfect length (and exactly the same!) which made me very happy.  I felt like I had good knitting karma (or the knitting gods) with this one.
