Welcome


Hello, my name is Dionne and I have been crafting for a very long time. As a very young child my mother tried to teach me to knit, it was a disaster. However, it must have sparked an interest in making things and, partly to prove that I was not totally useless and partly because I really wanted to make things, I taught myself to crochet. Over the years I have developed a love of cross stitch and all types of paper craft ..... I eventually even taught myself to knit.


I am married to a very understanding man, thank goodness, because I spend all my time either crafting, thinking about crafting or talking about crafting. I am hopeless at housework and dinner is often late!


Thank you for visiting my blog.

Tiny Cardigans for a Doll

 Can you believe it, that's June over!

I have more dolls clothes to share with you today.  The pattern for these cardigans is from Dolliebabies, this one is knitting pattern 001 classic baby cardigans.  Made in the 3 ply yarn my sister gave to me, these cardigans are really very small.  As you can see, I made one in each of the colours, some of them have round necks and others are 'v' necked.


This garter stitch cardigan is another Dolliebabies pattern (but I do not recall which one).  Garter stitch can be very unforgiving and any tension changes or caught threads really show up.  I had a few snagged threads, which really jumped out of the finished cardigan, so I came up with the idea to cover them with tiny buttons - plus I added a few more to make the random use of buttons look intensional,

I still have a few dolls clothes to share with you.  So, as they say, I shall return .....

      Thank you Carol. Those cardigans just about cover my palm but they took quite a long time to make each one. I think it is because the yarn was so thin and, regardless of the end size, they had the same number of stitches as a full size cardigan.

      Have a lovely weekend.

    These are super cute and pretty. I love the range of colours - I'd have to buy the lot. The buttons idea is genius and looks so stylish - I would definitely buy an adult version.

      You do make me laugh, you would like at least half of the cardigans I make. I suspect that you were deprived of woolies when your were a child!
