"Cressida," a knitty set for Blythe!

Ebay UK had a special listing fee discount this week, so I decided to put a Blythe set there. I wouldn't have much time knitting for myself this autumn, so I've got a humble list of "future knits." But I want each of them, those on the list, very very badly. That's why I came up with this whole Blythe set: I can knit something similar for dollie first!

Here's the result:


and here's the ebay link.


* A bag: A stylish shopper that is knitted first and then hand-felted in water. It is made with the same fluffy yarn as used for the hat and the same lavender shade for the set. One side is decorated with a bow for a variation, so your girl can decide which side to show off. It is a practical size - she will love to carry it everywhere! (I also include a blank notebook for its future owner).

* A belt: A tie-in belt in lavender, with buckle detail. (oooppps, this is crocheted. :D)

* A bolero: It has slightly flared 3/4 sleeves. The main colour is a subtle coffee brown made of 100% wool. It has flecks in reds and yellows. The lavender edges bring out the sumptuous shade of the brown. It is open in the front, without a closure.

* A dress: This is a close-fit sleeveless dress in neutral fawn. The front features a simple pattern that gives it a sophisticated appearance. It has the same lavender toning for neckline, the armholes, and the bottom. A pair of hooks and eyes serve as the closure.

* A hat: A soft hat with knitted zigzag edge in a butter-like shade. A chain of lavender and brown is running through it so you can tie it in a bow.
