Cotton Candy Coat

My sweet granddaughter

Gabriella

is turning 6 years old the first week of April.

She told her mommy all she wants is an

American Girl Doll.

She chose

Caroline

because not only does she have a friend with that name,

but this particular doll has

blonde hair & blue eyes...

just like Grammy.

Gabby is brunette with chocolate brown eyes.

I am tickled *pink*

that she wants a doll that looks like me :)

And of course I just have to make her some special clothes for her new doll,

which is tucked safely into hiding

in her mommy's closet

awaiting the Big Day.

I searched

Craftsy

and found this adorable pattern by

Knit N Play for only $2.99.

The pattern is very well written and has great pictures.

The sweater set was quick and easy to knit

&

Oh So Cute

when finished!

I took these buttons off a favorite dress

I used to wear in my banking days.

Aren't they perfect on this pink sweater?

The pattern comes with directions for two style of hats.

This is the beret.

I have enough yarn left to make the second hat as well

and will probably do so.

After all ~ a girl must have accessory options!

And so you know ~

I had a bit of help along the way.

Phoebe could not resist an upclose look

when Mommy went to the kitchen to brew another cup of tea.

If you look closely you will notice

a couple of stitches slipped off the needle

but as you can see the project survived :)

The weekend was perfect for staying tucked up into the house

with a lovely array of yarn and supplies

{and ~ yes ~ my pet menagerie!}.

 

Once again we have been hit by more snow.

This is what my

Spring Flowers

look like at the moment.

They are trying hard to be

jonquils...

eventually....

In the meantime I have more yarn for a new project.

One of my all time favorite yarns ~

Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino...

absoulutely divine!

I have just cast on this morning

&

will give you a peek eventually.

Hint ~

there are more

Bunnies

involved.

 

Have a lovely week,

I will see you all again soon,

With Love

&

Bunny Kisses,

Danette
