Amilia Thistledown, a golden skinned elven child with a talent for spinning thistledown into gossamer yarn, to knit lighter than air fairy shawls :-)
She is a Grace Notes doll, with elf ears. Her hair is fun fur, which is a fun and easy way to make a doll wig. She has dangly glass earrings, and her dress is basically the nightgown pattern with a different lace edging. Her shawl is pretty close to thistledown; knit from lace weight silk/mohair yarn.
We took pictures in Garfield Park and around the conservatory. So many pretty purple flowers!
She is darling & looks good in purples!!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful doll Beth, will you make the little purple lace dress pattern available, I would love to make one , just like her.... so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Sherry. Actually, the dress is simply the nightgown pattern with a different lace edging. The edging is from the book "50 Fabulous Knitted Lace Stitches.' I borrowed it from our local library, then decided I just had to have it! This pattern was called 'coral' and worked up pretty easy.
DeleteThanks Beth!
