My newest obsession

My latest addiction... knitting clothes for Isabel's new American Girl doll... Gabby (Gabrielle). Is she not the cutest thing? ... and she looks so much like Isabel. So far Gabby has gone to church, out to eat and violin lessons wearing her new wardrobe.

Every pattern I've made has been free off the internet and done with yarn I already have in my stash. I have a three ring binder full of free internet knit/crochet doll patterns. Do you have any idea what American Girl doll clothes cost in the store? Very expensive... Gabby will have an outfit for every week of the year at the cost of one American Girl outfit.

Gabby will be the best dressed of any of us here in this house :). Anyway, here are pictures of my two recent creations. More to come in the next few days.




Gabby wearing a knitted all-in-one sweater with matching jester's hat and leg warmers.



Jester's hat with tassles.



Tweed cape with matching fur muff.



Tweed cape back with hood.



Wouldn't this cape be too cute in Little Red Riding hood red?



Love how the hood frames her sweet face.
