I might as well show off my miniature knitting skills here. So back in winter I was looking to challenge myself in making something other than baby hats, booties, and toys (which I only started getting into because I was going to become an aunt).
It did take me a while to figure it out but, now l know how to make doll clothes…sorta. The sweater dress is for a monster high doll, the sweater with the salt shaker was sent to Nerdecrafter in Quebec, and the white and blue striped sweater was sent to Kasey Golden in British Columbia.
The green sweater was my most recent project because my aunt wouldn’t stop bugging me about knitting some clothes for this monkey doll she keeps in her room. I also knit that hat too, but she was the one that made that Pom Pom, which really clashes with the colours in the hat. It took 3 attempts to the get the sweater right and 3 days to finish.
help i’m in love with my roommate and they’re boyfriend
