Can't work for long, but anyway, one Dolliver will be getting a new dress as soon as it's seamed up, and there's another on the needles. Blondie Firstborn has one of these dresses and it's been a bone of contention among the other four that they don't have one, too.
These are from the Knitted Babes book by Claire Garland, from which the Dollivers came, though adapted from the originals in the book. I hugely recommend this book as fun as well as very simply presented. Makes you want to knit all the things.
And it's using yarn from friend Karen's stash, another cool point.
I hope the injury is fully healed very soon and you have sufficient wrist stamina to do more of what gives you joy. What a beautiful knitted dress!
ReplyDeleteLive the colors of that dress and looking forward to seeing that other dress.
ReplyDeleteYou know, of course, you have created a monster and that all the D's will want new togs. Elton is bound to want a new suit too.
ReplyDeleteFunny you should have mentioned that, since I did haul out all the other knitted duds and dress them up warmly this afternoon, midwinter and they were in beachwear. Now it's all sweaters and hats.
ReplyDeletehow cute I have not heard of Dolliver but my kids are way past dolls as is the granddaughter who is nearly 17
ReplyDeletegood to read that the wrist is healing
My Dollivers are the character dolls I created and named, who appear in all kinds of adventures in my Field and Fen blog. They're not toys, as they will be the first to tell you! but it gives their writer and creator a lot of fun, and the blogreaders,too, to follow their lives and times.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so cute!!!! And your choice of color for that dress also looks so beautiful... Jaslynn, Ecbilla
