This one has the detail in the top of the skirt, which in this white color does not show very well. It had a strapless top (but you could add straps. i didn’t like that so gave it a bodice and the pattern called for crocheted edgings. I knitted the bond off at the neck [...]

I found a “new” doll named Hitty. I have ordered her book called, “The First Hundred Years” so you know she’s not really new, only new to me. But I find that she is about the same size as Mini Molly and so this Virginia Larkin pattern (5G) fits her just fine. I used fingering [...]

We’re ready. Go Giants!
I am issuing an invitation to anyone interested to join us on American Girl Knitters for a WeaveALong to make a dress for an 18 inch girl doll. She doesn’t have to be an AG. I will be using the 4” Square Multi Loom but you can also use your weave-it or the Tiny Weaver [...]

Trying it out.
Posted in Knitting, Looms, Uncategorized, Weaving on Jul 15th, 2012
I really haven’t make a whole project on the new peg loom so thought I ought to give it a serious try. Randy designed this one at the request of several weavers. It seems to be going quickly and is making a very plush rug. I’m using a reel of selvage cut from knit fabric. [...]
I didn’t realize how long it’s been since I posted! Sorry ’bout that! We have been busy, tho. Randy has under taken a new project for me, and maybe for sale once we get the “bugs” worked out. It’s a doll storage and clothes trunk. He calls it a steamer trunk. The first prototype gave [...]
We finally got some. Can’t read that ruler very well but I’m not going out there again to take another one! It’s right at 6″ on the bird feeder at the edge of the deck. But the wizards say it’s gonna warm up and rain. Clear up to 5500′! That’s evil!
