Just Joking....

Okay, new patterns did not happen.  I've become obsessed with finding Skipper clothing for my Blythes.  I'm also in the process of organizing...GASP.

Organizing isn't going too hot.  But, it is a start.

I will soon be offering vintage items altered for Blythe in my Etsy shop.  I have been doing "little laundry" as my family like to tease me about to get them ready.  The pieces are Skipper and Barbie circa 1963-66.  They are duplicates that I've gotten in my Ebay purchases.

A few vintage Ken pieces may pop up also.  Ken the nudist is overwhelmed by his new wardrobe.

Now available in my Etsy shop is vintage Skipper inspired Mod Dresses, http://www.etsy.com/listing/119314074/mod-blythe-dress

Right now these are the colors available. They are made from wool/wool-blend felt and have snap closures.

Why did I buy straights?

I am no longer keeping my straight needles.  The only purpose they are serving right now is decorative and they are messy looking at that.

I wish some knitting genius would have advised me to stock up on circular needles instead of straights.  Wondering where this post is going?  Well, I am bunching them up by size and selling them in my Etsy shop.  I am hoping someone out there just loves straight needles!!

They are very nice needles- birch, rosewood, and bamboo.

I am selling other knitting odds and ends-  point covers, cable needles, stitch holders, thimbles, finger protectors, etc.

I feel like I have hit a knitting milestone. I have been at it long enough that I know what works for me and it is time to get rid of the rest.

It is like finally remembering the kitchener stitch. Big milestone!
