Miniature Knitting in the Studio

I am not very good at doing orders

I am so easily distracted then wiz off on a tangent 

ESPECIALLY if I have an idea that seems a good one.

I am not very disciplined at all when the creative me pops up her head

"They" say if it is not written down it has not happened ....

I say if I have not knitted it, the idea remains only an idea.

I believe this idea was a good one, 

I still need to do a petticoat the will be right for the dress.

I embroidered the dress with YLI silk which I was given as a gift on Saturday, well not quiet a gift I will be making a bedspread for my friend 

I already know exactly how I am going to do it....

BUT BACK TO ORDERS FIRST!!!

ENJOY!

PS I used a no 12 sharps needle to do the embroidery, made by PONY in India very inexpensive and work like a dream to sew the garments together as well.

Miniature Knitting Patterns BBBaby

I have had a few request for patterns knitted in Venne 70/2 for BBBaby as not everyone can knit with the Madiera Cotona Thread.

The pattern now has a full length Petticoat and Coat with the usual Diaper and Booties.

The pattern is available in ENGLISH and DUTCH

KATELYN FOR BBBaby

Without the bows!!!

ENJOY!

KATHARINA DAY DRESS

I have to share with you the embroidery on the Katharina dress.

It is all thanks to my friend Diane Smith in Tasmania

 that I have at last gone a little embroidery happy.

Lazy Daisey stitch is not as easy as it looks,

 one has to "let" the thread lie in the way it wants to or else you get all these long thin petals...NOT GOOD

much prefer the petals to take on a gentle curve.

Also unpicking a flower is harder than you think.

One thing you must do is wash the white garments before you embroider.

The soaps do change the colour of the thread slightly.....

even though I use delicate soap.
