Buttercup Miniatures 2020 Advent KAL
Feb. 10th, 2021 04:09 pmButtercup Miniatures did an Advent knit-a-long and I decided to join in using Lionbrand Amazing Lace yarn and US #0 (2mm) needles. I had no idea if the finished item would fit any of my dolls but I was sure I could send it to a friend with more varied dolls if it didn’t. I don’t have any male dolls at this scale so it was a gamble from the start.
I basically crossed every cable other than the center panel wrong but didn’t want to start over when I noticed it and just kept going. The ropes should have been snakes and the outermost cables should have been Xs and Os but I still like it. Maybe I will knit another with the cables done right… well at least with the Xs and Os, I prefer the ropes actually.
Seaming was a mixed bag of simple and nightmarish. Setting in sleeves is never going to be something I enjoy, but doing it with a cable at the edge of one piece and no selvedge stitch? ARGH!
It fits my Bobobie March like she stole it from her boyfriend. The armhole depth is very long for her and the sleeves could be one rope cable crossing shorter.
The fit on Wild Hearts Crew is great! I was impressed that the neck stretched enough to get over her head.
It even went on a curvy Barbie Fashionista easily.
I would love a Made to Move body for this girl. I bought her specifically to model that crochet flamenco dress she has on under the sweater, so articulation didn’t matter, but then I fell in love with her face. (Not in love with the glue head I deal with and the “look at it funny and it floats” static prone hair.)
