Winter Warmth Collection - Part 1



The models are Kathleen (my beautiful green eyed early 70's girl), her green eyed baby sister (early baby girl with raised eyelids), Rowena (my lovely LE Kiltie) and Katie (my gorgeous Kilt girl from the late 60's).


Kathleen is wearing a fabulous outfit. Her bootleg trousers are a lovely dark green needlecord.

She has cute green socks made from the same sock yarn as used in the green fairisle stripes in the sweater.

Her shoes are laced black leather Boneka shoes.


Her hat and scarf are knit using the dark coloured sock yarn used in her sweater. The scarf is a lovely long length which is wound twice around her neck and allows for many different ways of wearing it.

Her sweater is knit using two contrasting sock yarns. This gives a beautiful colourful feel to the fairisle pattern.
A truly lovely outfit.

Rowena's beautiful striped sweater is knit in random stripes of a wide range of shades of red, from pinks, rusts, reds, purples and browns. Sumptuous.
Her moebius scarf, hat and bag are knit using the deep plum 4 ply wool used in the sweater.
Her bootleg trousers pick up the dark red in the sweater. Initially I visualised this outfit with the lighter coloured trousers but I changed my mind and decided the outfit looked more elegant with the darker colour.
Her socks are knit using the ginger colour used in her sweater. To complete the outfit she is wearing brown ankle boots.

Katie really suits the colours used in her outfit. Her polo neck sweater is knitted using a ginger coloured 4 ply wool and the lovely green toned sock wool used in Kathleens outfit.


Her socks are knit using the lace weight cream coloured shetland wool. Her shoes are pretty cream leather Bonika shoes with fine leather ties which tie behind her ankle.

Rather than making a skirt for this outfit, I decided to make a sleeveless dress which gives the option of being able to be worn in the summer as well as colder times of the year. Her pants match her dress.
Her hair ties are a lovely lime green which match the main colour of her beautiful floral dress.

I chose to use the lovely ginger and lime green wool for the baby outfit. Her hat is a cute little earflap one, gathered at the top with a ginger tie.

Her cardigan is knit using the same lovely contrasting 4 ply yarns with the ginger used as the main colour this time and the accent stripe in the lime.
It buttons at the front with six ginger coloured buttons.

Her sleeveless dress is made in a similar style to Katie's using the same beautiful floral cotton fabric. Her pants match her dress.
This outfit would also look lovely in the summer with just the dress and bootees.
Her bootees are knit in the same colour combination as her hat.
A very cute outfit for your baby Sasha.

Autumn Landscape Collection: Part 2


The models used in this group are:

Amelia (a one of a kind Wenarsky repaint); Poppy (a Frido dungarees girl from 1968); John (early baby boy); Rowena (a limited edition trendon Kiltie).
I had great pleasure collecting the materials and wools for this collection. The colours were wonderful to work with.

Amelia is wearing a cute outfit hand knitted using two different sock wools. I loved the combination of the smudgy looking sock wools with the tie dyed rusty toned needlecord.
She is wearing socks knitted using lace weight shetland wool and beautiful brown leather boneka shoes.


I loved the control of the striped pattern contrasting with the random patterning on her trousers.

Amelia is a beautiful one of a kind girl created by Kelly Wenarsky. She has beautiful hazel eyes with hints of green.



Poppy is wearing a beautiful traditional style dress in a pretty cotton fabric. It has an upright collar and fine cuffs.

The slip and pantalettes are a beautiful contrasting colour picking up the main colour in the dress perfectly.

She is wearing ivory socks hand knit using lace weight shetland wool and beautiful cream leather old style laced boneka boots.


I love the early girls wearing their hair in plaits. It always looks so cute.


John my handsome early baby Gregor is wearing one of my new designs for this collection.

I used two wools in this outfit. The same patterned rusty coloured sock wool used in the outfit below and a lovely warm toned cream wool. They were used to great effect to knit the striped hat and footed trousers.

He has a beautiful cuddly Steiff polar bear which coordinates perfectly with his outfit.


John has the most amazing dark brown eyes.

His aran sweater features cabling on the front and sleeves. It fastens with 3 buttons on the back.

The outfit is finished with a lovely little ribbed scarf.

This outfit is just too cute for words.


This coat pattern has been a work in progress for a while. I really like how it has turned out and it is very cute made in the space dyed sock wool.

I wanted the fairisle top underneath to be fine and light and to pick up the colours in the coat without being the same. The blue worked as a good contrast. The oatmeal background makes the top look summery. I used lace weight shetland wool for this top.

In the end, I teamed this outfit with bootleg style denim trousers, as I loved how it brought out the blue pattern in the fairisle top.

Her socks are oatmeal coloured lace weight shetland wool and she wears boneka brown leather sandals.

Rowena, my beautiful LE Kiltie, suits these colours perfectly.

She has the loveliest light auburn hair and clear blue/grey eyes.
