Piper

Hi All,

Would you believe I finally got up to the Piper this week.


And this week the girls requested that their Barbies be covered a little more and being the superstar mum that I am(and letting the washing pile up in the process) I knitted these up for them.
I got the pattern of here and it is pattern A58.
I did change needle size to 3.25mm and I used 4ply baby wool. I also cast off the undies/bikini bottom  using 3.75mm as they were a bit hard for the girls to slide up and down.
Cheers, Sharine

  7. Your girls will remember the Barbie outfits, but not the un-done laundry! Enjoy the girls while they are young-before you know it they are grown up and gone! (And you are a superstar Mom, lol)
