Seems like it's time for my annual attempt at this 1/6 knitting thing. This started out as some round knitting practice before I decided to practice sleeves instead, that's why the fit leaves something to be desired. But it has sleeves! Woohoo!

30 fairly loose stitches on 2mm needles, if I remember correctly. The yarn is a bit too heavy as well. On the other hand: sleeves!
Yay, sleeves. It's sometimes hard to get fine yarn that looks right when it's on a doll. Your jumper looks like some in the (people) shops this winter so I'd say you're doing fine.
ReplyDelete*nod* I agree with Carrickters :) It really looks super cute though, and I'm so in awe of people who can knit or crochet at all... I am impaired when it comes to that craft 0_0
ReplyDelete@Carrickters Really? If big lumpy knitwear is in I might use that to my advantage! :)
ReplyDelete@Heather: You should check out the amazing doll sweaters this woman makes: http://www.flickr.com/photos/z-pupsik/7307393156/ She's the gold standard I aspire to (although it might be hard to tell).
That is just freakin' cute! It's a good color for her too.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Actually, I just picked the yarn I had the most of, then picked a doll to match... :)
