Love these Dolls

Four of our granddaughters received one of these 18" dolls for Christmas, and they are all interested in making clothes.  Knitting, crocheting and sewing.   Well, of course, I have to try out some of these patterns, that I have collected.  Here is the first full outfit, complete with a tam, scarf and mittens, as well as the lovely coat.  Pattern is from Annie's Attic.

Upside down and backwards

Well, I've done a fair bit of ripping out, but am quite pleased now with the way this is working out.  Two color stranded work is really quite simple with the Portuguese style of knitting.  Only problem is it's really warm here in Florida, and the yarn does not move very well when I get too hot.
