A Couple of Work-in-Progress Photos

Hi there! I don’t know if you’ve noticed or not, but not much creating going on with me lately. Life has pulled me away from my studio for a bit as I’ve been needed elsewhere. I’ve been getting a little knitting and embroidering done in the last couple of weeks, but don’t have anything completed to show you, sorry. Here’s a photo of a sweater dress for the Little Darlings that I managed to get made. I still have the other pieces of this ensemble to work on, but you can get an idea anyway. I hope to have it all finished next week.

Oh, I forgot to show you this little dress I made for my Fairyland Pukipuki, Sugar, a couple of weeks ago. It is knit with a lace weight tonal alpaca/silk, very soft. This too, will probably be for sale sometime next week.

Bye for now! Hope you are enjoying this week.

Santa’s Tiny Helpers

12 Replies

My Pukipuki Sugar, and Amelia Thimble are wearing bright red Santa hats and dresses for Christmas. They are hoping that Santa notices them this year and needs their tiny helping hands for various elfin chores. If Santa needs a reference for them I am ready to give him one. These two are priceless; he’d better return them home to me after their chores are completed though, I’d miss them terribly.

Their Santa sets are made with bright red hand dyed lace weight merino and “fur” trim knit out of mohair/silk lace yarn. (I love the way this yarn dyed up; it’s a very light tonal, with lights and darks.) The dresses are embroidered with mistletoe berries, greenery, and blue spruce evergreen boughs. Both tines are wearing tinkling bells at the ends of their Santa hats; maybe you’ll hear them on Christmas Eve.

Amelia wants to show Santa that she can climb around in Christmas trees and hang little ornaments.

Sugar can also climb Christmas trees, but is quite musical and loves to jingle her silver bell to creative a festive environment.

Puki’s White Christmas

4 Replies

Here is the first of my winter white sweater dresses. Sugar wanted to go first, so I told her that would be fine if it was okay with the others, and it was.

Sugar’s dress is hand knit with off white merino lace yarn. The “fur” trim is knit with mohair/silk lace. Her little embroidered Christmas motif is of holly and greens placed asymmetrically at the waistline.
