Brooke and Marisela





I've almost completed two Babes, Brooke and Marisela. The Babes are currently named for their owners. Babes were knitted in Knit Picks Palette (Marisela's red dress and shoes were knitted in a shimmer-y acrylic; Marisela has "jewels" in her hair as well.). Brooke (the blonde who needs a skirt and shoes!) is for my 4-year-old neighbor. Marisela is for a friend I've had since high school.
