What Blythe doesn’t need a pair of matching (or mismatching, as the case may be) legwarmers? Whether she’s trying to keep warm in the cold, or she’s becoming a yoga queen, a doll can always use a nice pair of legwarmers. And what better way to get a pair than to bug her owner to knit some?

Note: these are sized for (Neo) Blythes, not Middies or Petites.

A little something to all those knitters out there in the Blythe community – a pullring dishcloth. But you don’t need to use it as a dishcloth. You could knit many of them and make a blanket, or knit a few and make cushion cover, or just knit a set for yourself because – why not? Or even just the one would make a nice little doll blanket. Who wouldn’t want to snuggle with a blanket that has a pullring on it?

Needed knitting skills: casting on, knitting, purling, casting off and being able to read a chart.

I have been all about needing to put together things lately! Feeling very crafty and finding inspiration in the oddest of places. Last weekend I stopped into a small shop that sells a lot of ‘up-scale’ dollar store goods (most things are priced more than a dollar) and then I nearly skipped past the selection of wooden boxes that they had. They were being marketed as “trinket boxes” and I thought it was cute, until I realized how great it would be to display doll shoes! So go off to your local dollar/dollar plus store and see what kind of divided wooden boxes they have! I’ll be patient and wait for you to get back.

I love miniatures, but I also like to do things on a budget. I’m a huge fan of my own smartphone, so I decided that it might be time for my dolls to have one of their own (and I am planning on making a few more after this!). In no time, your dolls will be busy with texting, calling their best friends across the country and racking up phone charges by paying to move onto the new chapter of Candy Crush Saga.
