Sticks--Something for Barbie

Yes, Barbie has everything but something handcrafted by me! I figured it was time to make something for her will for the moment.


I chose to make a purse that in Knitting for Barbie by Nicky Epstein. It always amazes me when I sit down and create something it just turns out beautifully.  So of course I made a different one in purple.

Per the knitting instructions I used the recommend yarn by DNC. and size 0 needles. Started this while I watch TV and in no time it was completed. Added a little bead and Viole it done.

Such a diva.

Sticks-A little glam for Tiffanny

I know you guys are like me and I just couldn't resist buying this yarn at Michael's Craft Store. It was on sale for $3.99! Yes, you know I got three for me! This was a request my another co-worker of mine. I made her daughter the sweater you see in my very first project I posted here. Her favorite color is black so this worked out fine and for $3.99 can't beat it.

This is Red Heart yarn Sashay. It is a self ruffling yarn and so much fun to knit. It knits up very quickly and you will end up with a beautiful range of colors.

I used the pattern that was include on the inside label. I really love how the yarn has the "bling" trim. Really cute, very fashionable.

 

Gotta love the Bling! 

Sticks---A Cardi for Karson

 

I have been meaning to share this with everyone but it seems like things have gotten busy with me and I'm just to tired at the end of the day. You know from time to time we go through our material and yarn stash when we have the need to create. I needed a project that was easy for my commute and it turns out this was perfect. It Patons Funny Stripes Set it is originally knitted in Astra but hey, Red Heart was on sale.



 

I  love Red Heart yarn and for this project I used one skein of each red, blue and black.

 

Here are the color identifiers just in case you wanted the exact colors. 

 

 

 

At first was wasn't sure if the color flow was going to work. I wasn't sure if I wanted the black on the bottom or in the middle. I like it in the middle so I went with that.

 

You know I had to make some mittens!
