I haven't knitted for ages it seems and now the weather has started to change the knitting needles have been brought out again in the evenings.
One of the knitting groups I belong to have had a fun 60s/70s Challenge and the 'prize' for completing this challenge was a lovely pattern 'Mondrian Magic'. A great little pattern that knits up quickly. I have knitted the first one plain and Victoria is modelling it here.
I have almost finished a little short sleeve top that can be worn underneath this and then I will start on the multi-coloured dress.
Which just goes to show that the same pattern can be made to look totally different depending on the choice and combination of colour and pattern - I hadn't realised this was a Mondrian style dress when I saw the photos on Flickr, but I'm now picturing it in my mind with blocks of colour. The same dress could be a 'tunic' dress over leggings, making a different outfit again.
ReplyDeleteI love the colour choice here (and it suits your girl).
This is lovely - I've just bought the pattern!
ReplyDeleteDid you knit the socks too?

So glad you bought the pattern as well, you will have fun with it I am sure!
DeleteNo I didn't knit the socks, they were knitted by Gill, she makes great socks!
Love how the JJ sandals are a perfect nmatch to the wool of the dress. Very pretty doll.
ReplyDeleteShe looks very cute Lorraine, the pink is perfect for her blond colouring.
ReplyDeleteI would like to attempt to knit socks, but have never knitted on those round needles before.....and I'm sure I wouldn't be able to knit with three needles at once, I get in enough of a muddle knitting with two! LOL. Maybe I just just stick with sewing!!!!
