Once again, Patience is here wishing you all a Happy Valentine’s Day! Her new outfit is cute and colorful and in a warm color palette this time around. I’m a sucker for cute cotton prints. This one is especially fun because it has so many cute motifs to look at. And…who doesn’t love hearts this time of year???!!!

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?

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.
