Down-sizing
My great-niece called a few weeks ago with a Christmas request: a sweater for her American Girl Doll. I told her that I would try to knit one for her, but I made no promises because I did not have a pattern. 
A quick Google search resulted in several patterns that could be purchased, but I didn't want to spend money for a pattern that I would only use once. The free patterns I found did not appeal to me, so I asked my sister to measure the doll. Armed with those measurements, I took a baby sweater pattern that I already had and down-sized it. My sister was pleased with the result and asked me to knit another sweater for my other great-niece's baby doll.
BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteYou are so very talented Nancy. Beautiful work... wish we were close enough that you could teach me -- knit one, pearl two... that's all I remember....
ReplyDeleteYou and your group are doing an awesome job for awareness of ph as well. Thank you for doing that.

those are really sweet little sweaters. The girls will be thrilled, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed! I hope to one day be a good enough knitter that I can do that for a pattern. It's really cute, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, in case you're interested for future reference, Major Knitter does a lot of knitting for her American Doll, and she has some free sweater patterns on her site for them. Here's the link in case you want to see them:

Happy Thankgiving! :-)
They are beautiful, you did good.
ReplyDeleteThey are sure to be loved! I remember how important it was to have a change of clothes for my Barbie doll. My grandmother once sewed a whole wardrobe for my doll. I still have that doll and the clothes.
