Blythe Mania

I just bought another Blythe doll.  Silly I know, but it was a really good deal.  I purchased Pleasant Peasant off of ebay that included:

Doll + Pleasant Peasant apparel
2 Blythe dress forms
1 blonde curly wig and wig cap
1 outfit with boots
Vintage sewing patterns (one of them was a Skipper pattern!)

This was an outrageously good deal.  Wigs run about 18-20 dollars, wig cap is about 3-4 dollars, dress forms are 25 from This is Blythe, and outfit could be 6-15 dollars.  I don't know how much Vintage patterns are in retail.  I was going to spend about 20 dollars less for just the doll so I am really glad I found this on ebay.

Bulb Skirt for Blythe

*Download Pattern*

Blythe is the perfect doll to knit for, she is so versatile and everything looks good on her.  This is one of the first items I knitted for my Blythe named Ginny, a Bulb Skirt. It is a quick and simple knit.  A perfect beginner magic loop pattern!

Bulb Skirt

Supplies:


US 2 DPNs or US 2 24 inch Circular needles
Fingering weight yarn with elastic
Yarn darning needle

Pattern notes:

Skirt is knitted bottom up. Add ribbing to the waist in the 3 rows before the bind off if yarn does not have elastic. This is a perfect beginner Magic Loop project. Just divide stitches evenly on the needles.

Why yes, yes I am crazy.

I just order my second Blythe doll.  I have suspicion I will be very in trouble with the mother and husband. 

She is apparently a reproduction of the original Blythe doll produced by Kenner. 

I don't really care about all of that except for she is pretty and a bit less expensive as my previous one. 

I bought R a mini Blythe statuette. I wish I could find a cheap priced petite Blythe.

R is getting the cute little ballerina doll.
