Notes

September 9, 2020

Holding the yarn doubled for the skirt.

I’ve finished the knitting on the skirt, just need to cast off and stitch the back seam. I really like this little skirt. It’s easy to knit and will be easy to adjust for different dolls. I think just leaving out a section or maybe two will be a good fit for tiny rag dolls.

I’m on to the sweater. I hope the single thickness of the punch yarn will work for the sweater. If it doesn’t I’ll have to go up and find some lace weight yarn.

Learning a new cast on for this one. It looks like it will be a good one.

I am super happy with how this outfit turned out. It is perfect for Mini Molly. Shh… don’t tell her, but I’m switching the sweater for the one in Mini Maryellen’s wardrobe too.

I really like the two tone sweater and the weight and texture of the fabric knitted with the punch yarn and size 0 needles. I even like the holes left by the yarn overs. I subbed afterthought yarn overs for the regular ones. They are just as easy to do and leave a slightly smaller hole.

I wanted the sleeves to fit snugly around the doll’s arms, so I did some decreases in the ribbing row. I did (k2tog, p, k, p2tog, k, p) around. I was nervous that might be too tight to go over the doll’s hands, but it worked just right.

I changed to the red on the purl row on the sleeves and only did one row of ribbing. That worked well, so I did the same thing at the hem. For the neckline I switched to white after the ribbing row.
