Ewok Sweaters

Ewok sweaters:

Ewoks

Notes:

In a mix bag of Star Wars Ewoks that was purchased from a flea market I noticed there were 3 varieties.  The sweaters are generally the same for all three, but changes may be needed depending on the neck, body or arm length. Patterns have not been thoroughly tested. Ewok 2 I will be making more than once so I will update if I find anything major.

My 3rd Blythe is in Route!

I just tracked my 3rd Blythe doll.  She was reciding in Missouri just one state above me and she is in route!  I have already named her, Fleur. Okay, okay, I will admit it.  I am naming them after Harry Potter characters- Penelope Clearwater, Ginny Weasley, and Fleur Delacour.  It is more of just inspiration, not really after the characters themselves and I dropped the last names.

If I ever get Simply Guava, which will be my last Blythe for the year, her name will be Nymphadora.  With pink hair I think it is fitting. I wished that I would have held off on my Simply Mango because now they can be order together with a discount at This is Blythe. 

I did just order some wigs.  This will be intersting.  They are cute and I hope they fit my Takara as well as Ashtond Drakes. I ordered 2 wigs and got one free, a wig cap, an outfit on sale and a re-ment (call me stupid, but I this means reproduction) Little Twin Stars charm set with free shipping.  This is officially the last I can spend on my Blythes, especially with Christmas just months away.  In fact, I am feeling a little guilty for spending the money. 

I plan to take some photos this weekend with the clothing that I have made for them.  I hope to write a few more patterns too.  I can visualize this shrug that I want to make but the yarn is not corporating or the lace or the needles....  I guess I may have to rethink it completely.  I also have a project idea still in the works.  It might be my first for sale pattern.  It will be useful for dolls or needles....what a combination!

Shark Hat for Blythe

Doesn't every doll need a Shark Hat?  Well, yes.  This pattern has only been tested once.  I will soon test it again.  It is very likely a flaw or two in my pattern writting skills.

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.

Instructions:

*K1, KFB,* repeat to the end.

Knit multiple rounds until desired length.

This example has about 18 rounds.

Dyeing yarn

I recently have been attempting to dye cotton yarn with kool-aid and gel food coloring. First attempt was awful. My color washed out. Right now my second attempt is in the works. Sometime this weekend I am going to get a tie-dye kit. I do plan to purchase real dyes but I want to practice on inexpensive products first.

I even thought about dyeing wools. I can wear gloves and mask if the fibers irritate me skin. I think it would be okay.

On Ravelry I have gotten myself set up as a designer. Hopefully I will soon get all of that figured out. Right now I am working on some Blythe doll patterns to publish- the Shark Hat is one and the other a Bulb Skirt. My friend told me that they are also called Tulip Skirts. I will post the patterns here and on Ravelry.

I folded it in on the sides until it looked like a dog’s muzzle and then stitched it together. Because of the fold, you don’t have to stuff it.

Sewing:

Sew front and back of chi together starting from one side to the other.

Then sew bottom on. Leave yourself enough room to stuff the pup and then finished sewing.

I attached the ears and then the muzzle. This way you can align all of the features to your liking.

I sewed on the button eyes last.
