My Mohair/Silk Sweaters and Dresses in Other Colors

Everyone loves this soft and fuzzy yarn, don’t they? I do, and this is one yarn that I go to again and again throughout the year, it’s season-less.

In addition to my pink and white knits, (you saw those collections last week here and here) I’ve used this yarn to knit sweaters and dresses in dusty lavender, blue green, medium sky blue, golden yellow, tan, and fuchsia.

I think that this collection of photos along with last week’s two collections shows everything I’ve made with this yarn. Now, I think it’s time to look forward, and knit some more with this yarn!

Thank you so much for reading my blog and commenting! I appreciate it so much!

Bye for now!

Hang Onto Your Hat!

I don’t like hats on myself, never have and probably never will. I think from the moment I could take them off of myself, I probably did. The only way that I would cover my head and ears in the coldest weather was with a hood on my coat, so my mom made sure that all of my coats had hoods. Luckily, my dolls will wear whatever I put on them, and they look adorable in hats, I think.

These are my all-time favorite fall/winter hats that I’ve made for my dolls. Sorry, some of them you probably saw yesterday.

Also, I have one of my Pinterest board this morning (hat inspiration) that I’d like to share with you.

Here is my Pinterest board.

These days I will wear a hat, but only if I am going on a long walk and it is too cold for a headband. What about you, are you a hat person?

Sweater Weather is Here

Blustery, Cloudy, Cool! This is our weekend weather forecast for northern Illinois. I don’t mind—it’s sweater weather!

I went through my older photos and found my warmest looking fall sweaters. Most of these are knit with a fingering weight Peruvian Highland wool.

These tiny sweater were all made for Kish’s little BJD, Lisbet. She came before Amelia Thimble and is slightly larger. I hand dyed all (except natural, of course) of the lace yarn (merino/silk) in fall colors.
