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 [...]

The Weave Along is finished and was a great success. I think everyone enjoyed it and they turned out some wonderful projects. I think it even converted a few new weavers to the craft! Here’s a little overview of some of the projects. If you didn’t finish your project, it’s not too late! You missed [...]
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 [...]

Our promised rain… well, they said 60% chance…. turned out to be 40% that it wouldn’t. Not a drop. Very disappointing as we really do need it and our rain is very late this year. This storm all went north of us it looks like, tho we did have our first little fire last evening. [...]
Some interesting yarn

Susanne from Benny fibers in Montana gave me this skein of yarn at OFFF and I wanted to thank her so wove a little pouch using the 4×6 Mutli and noticed that this color-way wove up into a really nice Scottish looking plaid so decided to make up a school suit for my AG doll. [...]
