Welcome to a stop on the Nicky Epstein Knits for Dolls Blog Tour!!! Today we talk about a book that has been discussed by several other blogs. "Nicky Epstein Knits for Dolls: 25 Fun, Fabulous Outfits for 18-Inch Dolls" We were sent a copy of the book by Sixth and Spring Books, so this is a sponsored post featuring our own deep thoughts. Go here to check out the book: http://www.sixthandspringbooks.com/index.php/nicky-epstein-knits-for-dolls.html And check out these other blogs on the tour: July 1 Toys In the Dryer House of 34 July 2 Katie's Red Umbrella Crafting A Green World July 3 Karen Mom Of Three's Craft Blog Doll Diaries July 4 Smashed Peas and Carrots On The Laundry Line July 5 The Doll Wardrobe Untrained Housewife July 6 American Girl Fan July 7 Stitch and Unwind Our first question upon receiving the book was "Who is Nicky Epstein?" This back panel on the book explains that she is basically a knitting guru. And she has published many books on this subject. This new book offers a lot of great projects for the amateur and advanced knitter. If you are a novice, here's a fantastic opportunity to track down a more experienced knitter, get this book and bond over the projects. Need summertime craft projects to keep you busy? Here ya go! There is a Table of Contents with pictures. And a Project Index in the back of the book. As you can see, it isn't just sweaters and jackets -- there are dresses, hats, blankets, bathrobes, purses, socks and much more to knit. The book features detailed materials lists for each project as well as in-depth instructions. You will also see some useful charts. In the back of the book you will find a page on Yarn Resources... As well as a Glossary and Techniques section... Clear technique images help your work go smoothly. And you will also find special extras on doll jewelry crafting and teatime treats to bake. But the best part is all of the wonderful photographs of Madame Alexander dolls modeling the knits. The publishers took quite a lot of care to set up elaborate scenes that really 'sell' each project. How cute is this picture? And the pictures serve as great examples of how to photograph your handmade doll clothing for selling online. These images really make you want to dive into the book and start a project right away! Thank you for visiting the blog today! If you guys are interested in us giving this book away to one lucky reader -- we certainly can! Just let us know in the comments if you want us to do that!!!

This pattern is part of a set that I am selling on etsy. Since the headband/ear warmer goes so well with this shawl I throw in this headband/ear warmer pattern as an extra free of charge. I have made quite a few of these headbands/ear warmers for my daughter and for her friends and they are always a big hit. I love how quick and easy they are to work up, you will be making these in all sorts of colors for every American Girl Doll outfit your little one has in no time. Not like I know that from experience or anything ;) Every time Victoria gets a new outfit for her dolls she always asks if she can get a new headband to match it {stash colors permitting of course! :) } This headband/ear warmer can have a fancy, vintage feel with a delicate yarn or a more natural cozy feel with a thicker yarn. For this pattern you will need: Your yarn of choice, when I first wrote this pattern I just used yarn out of my stash of my favorite blends. You can make a couple out of each ball of yarn depending on the size of the ball. My favorite yarn for this {and most projects} is Naturally Caron Spa or Country Blend 4.00 mm Crochet Hook Yarn needle You may sell things made from my personal patterns BUT DO NOT sell my patterns as your own work. If you sell something made from one of my patterns please credit me for the pattern, Thanks in advance!! :) Pattern is for personal use only. Stitches Used: Half Double Crochet (hdc) Double Crochet (dc) Single Crochet (sc) Slip Stitch chain (ch) This pattern will give you directions on how to create the headband and the ear warmer for an American Girl Doll. Its just a simple matter of rows. :) To Start: Ch 42 and being careful not to twist your yarn, join your ends to create a circle. Round 1: ch 2 hdc around Join with a slip stitch in the ch 2 space of the beginning ch 2 If you are making the headband version stop here and go on to round 4. If you are making the ear warmer, continue onto round 2 and complete all rows. When you use the country blend by Naturally Caron it comes out a little fuller looking due to the fact that the yarn is thicker than the spa blend. I used the same hook for both. Round 2: ch 2 turn hdc around Join with a slip stitch in the ch 2 space of the beginning ch 2 Round 3: repeat round 2 Round 4: ch 1 turn sc into the ch 1 space skip 2, 6 dc in the next, skip 2 * sc, skip 2, 6 dc in the next, skip 2* repeat this pattern all the way around and end with a sc right next to the first sc you did in the ch 1 space You're finished!! Knot your yarn, weave in your ends and get ready to hear squeals of delight ....that is what happens in our house when I make new things for Victoria or her dolls. She adores homemade gifts which totally melts my heart. :) The shawl above is done in a thinner yarn {spa blend by naturally caron} and a 4.00 mm hook The ear warmer in this photo is turned the other way with the shells in the front instead of in the back like the headband photo. I wanted to show the difference in how a change of yarn can look...this one with the thinner yarn looks more delicate, vintage, and is a lot more stretchy. The shawl above is done in a thicker yarn {country blend by naturally caron} and a 4.00 mm hook Being a thicker yarn, it looks fuller than the shawl in the other photos. To me, this one has more of a natural feel while the other has more of a fancy feel. Changing the yarns can change up the whole look of a piece. I love that about crocheting. :) I finished a cowl pattern for Victoria tonight and when she tried it on she was already using her imagination with it for pretend play, it was so cute to watch. I will be doing a post on that soon :) Its another one of those patterns that works up really quick ....story of my crochet life at the moment. ;) If you like the shawl pattern, its available in my etsy shop, just click the the etsy widget in my sidebar to visit my shop. :) The direct link to the shawl pattern is: http://www.etsy.com/listing/83707918/american-girl-shawl-poncho-pattern Hope you enjoy the pattern and it brings some joy to a doll lover in your life :) If you make one, I would love to see the finished product.

It's been awhile since I posted a Freebie Friday pattern, so it's fun to have one I can share with you all again. The body of this simple v-neck cardigan is knit in a single piece with fingering weight sock yarn and size 3 (3.25mm) needles, with the sleeves picked up and knit in place (though you could cast them on and sew them in afterward, if you want). The matching fingerless mittens complete the set. My finished sweater weighed (buttons and all) 51 gr, so you may be able to knit the entire sweater with 50gr of sock yarn. But if you want the fingerless mittens, you might want to do the ribbings in a contrasting color if you are using new yarns and don't want to dip into a second 50gr ball for a few yards of yarn. This pattern is ideal for leftovers- make it in stripes, or knit all of the sections in entirely different yarns for a glorious mis-match. Here's the drill, for those who are new to the Freebies: you may knit as many of these as you like, you can sell them... I don't care. Please don't repost the pattern though- if others want it, direct them here for downloading. If you post pics of the sweater, please post a link to here too. And if you want, send pics to me and I'll post them too. Click on the page images (2 for this pattern) to enlarge, save as jpgs, and then print from any graphics program. Enjoy!
