Dolls In Sweaters-Pidgin Doll
The 1/3 sized Pidgin doll is being retired by the creator (at least for the foreseeable future), in favor of the lovely 1/6th size.
I am extremely happy I was able to get my 1/3 girl created in time. She is still lovely as ever, and a fantastic sweater muse. :D
Raglan Hand Knit Sweater For Pidgin Doll
My Pidgin doll, Callie, is quickly amassing a bigger knit wardrobe than I have. :)
I knit this raglan sweater for her on size 4 US DPNs, using Woolike Simli-Laine yarn in a burgundy color. (This has become my "go to" yarn for knitting doll items, lately. It has a bit of stretch, and the colors are perfect for fall.)
I used The Incredible, Custom-fit Raglan Sweater worksheet provided by Woolworks.org. I was a bit nervous the cuffs and neckline wouldn't fit over fingers and neck by the time I was done, but the pattern definitely works!
I did a very simple neckline on this one, knitting in stockinette stitch for ten rounds, and letting "stockinette curl" do its thing. Next sweater I will try a ribbed neckline, and maybe short sleeves.
Of course, my lovely Callie is a custom made Pidgin doll from the very talented (and very nice!) Joshua David McKenney. I still need to do a proper review, and hope to get to it this weekend. I've had her nearly two weeks, and love her even more than I thought I would when I decided two years ago that the Pidgin doll was "the one". :)
Steven Monster Loves My Pidgin Doll
I received my gorgeous, one of a kind, Pidgin (www.pidgindoll.com) doll last week, and have been busy knitting her a hat, a scarf, and a sweater. I still need to do a full review of her, but for now, here are some sweet pics of her with my Steven Monster. :)
