Faery Tales & A Barbie dress

Hi All, First up is Faery Tales
And I finished a dress for Barbie
My lovely camera has washed the colors out. The top is pale pink and the skirt has pale pink, dark pink and white ruffles. In the  pattern ( found here pattern 1020 ). The only changes I have made are I added a button hole on the back and used 3.25mm needles instead of 2mm.Also you are supposed to press down the ruffles so they lay straight down but I liked how it looks curly so will be leaving it like that for now. The site has lots of great barbie knitting patterns. I have now started a rainbow one for Charlotte who is choosing the colors for me as I go along. I started with purple and she has green lined up for me next.
Cheers,Sharine

  6. Oh my gosh, you are so close to a happy dance finish on Faery Tales! How does it feel, since I'm, as of yet, unfamiliar with that feeling.

    Love the Barbie dress! Who says you need to spend a fortune to make kids happy :)
