All my fellow nerds out there are probably well aware that this weekend marks the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. I thought this would be a good time to share the TARDIS quilt I made earlier this year for my Whovian sister, Dani. Aside from a small, simple lap blanket I had previously done, this was the first quilt I had ever really made. And on top of that, I created my own pattern for it by just sketching it out on graph paper. There was a lot of improvising and tweaking along the way. I probably did a lot of things wrong, so don't look too closely. ;) My sister loved it, and that's all that mattered to me.
I opened up a shop on etsy.com today. I've posted some sweaters for 11.5-inch dolls (I hope to post other types of items in the future). You can visit the shop here . These miniature sweaters were very fun to create. They are all designed and handknit by myself. Most of the sweaters are knit using size 10 crochet thread and sock knitting needles. I like using the crochet thread because it is relatively inexpensive, comes in a wide array of colors, and is readily available from any store that sells craft supplies. Here is a free pattern for a basic sweater, for those who would like to try making one yourself! **UPDATE - 2015** The miniature sweater knitting pattern has been revised.
