New Handknit Dress for Blythe in Progress

Isadora Reiko (Frosty Frock) had lots of fun trying on her new handknit dress-in-progress. It's made of cotton yarn and was a swatch I made in a knitting class a few years back.

The little shawl is another swatch of Cotton Classic yarn and her hair adornment is a silk ribbon rosette I handmade. Her boots are from The Valley of the Dolls in Hollywood (now at Royal T in Culver City, California).

Clementine in Her New Crocheted Dress

I've been crocheting a bit more for my new Blythe dolls. I experimented with a cotton top a few days ago and then selected some variegated sock yarn for my next attempt.

This yarn (at such a small scale) created color blocks throughout the garment--a bit like a pastel mini-Mondrian dress. Clementine Louisa likes it nonetheless and actually has put her order in for more fun dresses to share with her sisters.

I'm going to knit a few, too.

Clementine Louisa in Her New Party Dress

My lovely Blythe doll, Clementine Louisa, in her new party dress, which was completely handsewn by my friend KittyKatDance, including the matching velvet hairband and bloomers (not seen here). Boots by Puchi Shoes and Bags Collection (Blue Box).

Blythe

My good friend Marie Rose of kittykatdance has lately become enamored of Blythe dolls and I have followed suit.

My brand-new ones have not arrived yet, but my sister and I and Marie had a gathering on Saturday to celebrate her birthday and to meet her new doll, Cousin Olivia.

She has been renamed Daisy and is sporting one of many custom dresses that Marie makes so beautifully, with meticulous attention to detail.

Meet Daisy!
