Short Attention Span Knitting

Doll Sweater and HatHere's my first attempt at knitting a sweater. The hat is the same pattern as the earlier hats, just smaller. My daughter is loving playing with these two pieces for her Fisher-Price Little Mommy doll. I used Red Heart Yarn in red with Bernat Ping Pong in Radiant Red along the cuffs and collar. The sweater pattern is the Vintage Knits 1904 Doll's Sweater, although slightly shortened. I unintentionally gave it an Asian twist with the kimono front. Not sure how that happened, but, hey, it looks cute. No worries. It was a fun project. Next I'd like to try the top-down teddy bear sweater. This doll's going to have quite an extensive wardrobe by the time I'm done.

I've taken procrastinating about my writing to new levels.
