These are my first babes, Emily, Angel and Mermaid. I knitted two of them on dpns and used simple sockyarn. The curly hair of mermaid is made of elastic cotton sockyarn by Ewa Jostes. The first one was knitted straight but I prefer the dpns-method.

So sweet! The dresses look fabulous on them.
Oh they are beautiful, well done. I agree with knitika, the dresses look excellent.
thank you so much for writing these nice things about my dolls. especially sewing the dresses was great fun with the help of my doughter.
Hi
I am a newcomer to this blog, and just bought the book ... I am excited to start! I noticed that you said you used dpn. My book has them knit on regular needles; can you give any hints on converting? Also, did you knit tubes for the arms and legs; the book shows the arms and legs as "curled in" strips but I think tubes would be cute. Any help appreciated, thanks!
