Its based on a french patisserie,all the cakes are hand made with fimo,and all the counters are made from odds and ends from my stash of boxes and bits.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The posters on the wall are from the internet ,its amazing what can be found while having a browse.</div>

Hello again,<br />
I am aiming to make soon a tiny 1.5 inch doll for a 48th scale dolls house,so to practise I made this one.<br />
<br />
She is 3 inches tall, and dressed as a maid,all hand knitted.<br />
<br />
I used size 1.5mm knitting needles,and the wool is double knit , I take 2 strands from it,this is difficult as it often splits, but can be done.<br />
<br />
She is made the same way as the doll I put on before but scaled down,the smaller needles make a smaller item as you will know.<br />
<br />
The mop hat is crochet,again a tiny hook and 2 strands of wool.<br />
<br />
I think the most difficult thing I have found with this small scale, thin needle and wool knitting is that if I drop a stitch it is almost impossible to pick up,its easier to start again,so can be very annoying.<br />
good luck ,have a go.<br />dollyhandknitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00616249725681999607noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073036572718707671.post-2473394650156556202012-02-14T03:13:00.003-08:002012-02-14T03:13:37.879-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This is my doll dressed.<br />
<br />
All the dress parts are oblongs,I cast on 65 stitches for the skirt and continued till long enough,just before the waist I did decrease rows untill the skirt fitted the doll.<br />
<br />
The pattern of the skirt is<br />
K1,slip 1, K1 psso, till the end<br />
Purl row<br />
K2,slip 1 ,K1 psso till end<br />
Purl<br />
<br />
The bodice is cast on enough stitches to cover front then knit till long enough and do the same for the back.<br />
Just stitch sides and shoulders.<br />
<br />
The under skirt is the same amount of stitches as the skirt,after the first row I added knitting lace then continued till waist lengh and did same as the skirt.<br />
<br />
The hat is knitting lace,threaded through the holes with matching wool,and pulled to make a frill.<br />
And the glued into place.<br />
<br />
The hair takes a little time.<br />
I wind wool round outstretched fingers to make a loop,tie with matching thread and sew this thread to the front center of head.Then I put some glue on the head,back,sides and flattern hair down.<br />
When dry,tease out the wool into each ply this makes the ringlets,wave.<br />
<br />
<br />
Then I added some bling and she is finished,Good luck with your doll.....<br />dollyhandknitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00616249725681999607noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073036572718707671.post-67781588562605621392012-02-12T05:22:00.000-08:002012-02-12T05:22:35.547-08:00<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Today I am knitting a small doll,then will make her dress.</span></strong><br />
