Teeny tiny knitting

I've been busy this weekend. I went wakeboarding (ish- ouch, my arms), I've cooked for crippleboy Mikey, I've hoovered the entire house, I've been for a gorgeous walk along the coast path, watching the Plymouth to Falmouth race come in on its return leg (Paradox, Matt's boat, coming in first. Yay!)and... I've been knitting. Tiny clothes. This is a dress in bright pink eyelash (from my SP from last year) and Rowan Lurex Shimmer. Mattie suits it, I think.

Bling, bling bling bling, bling.

I was also given some eyelash plume yarn in an amazing parroty colour- now I'm not usually an eyelash fan, but this stuff is pretty cool. I have some plans for it, but for now I thought it would make a pretty bling coat, that I myself would die for. However, I have the attention span of a gnat at the moment, so the girls have benefited. I knitted the body in one go, with slight shaping at the waist, cast offs for the arm holes, and shaping at the collar. Arms were knitted separately and sewn on with poppers for buttons. Yeah, mufu.

You talkin' to me?

I have to say, this coat is fab. I suits Reenie, Leon and Mattie best, but Mattie being the madam she is (in more ways than one- think on that), she claimed it for her own. Maybe I should do another coat in the bright pink eyelash too. But I guess she'd have that one as well. Lord.

Them girls. Man. Them girls.

Twisted round their collective teeny plastic moulded fingers you are, the pair of you. They look fab!

Okay what's with the freaky eyes? Do they change colors or do the dolls get red eye from the flash or something? I'm freaking out!

The eyes do indeed change colour and position- 4 in total, blue, green, red (eye) and orange for starters, although a lot of blythe addicts change their doll's eyechips to new colours in a strange and horrific operation involving hot glue and a great deal of force...
