Sasha Doll Style

Although this outfit was made and sold a few months ago, I thought it would be interesting to show a photograph of the finished outfit

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 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.






I am not sure about the brown trousers though. They look nice with the duffle but maybe a bit dark with the top. The top actually looks very cute with denim. Would have liked corduroy in the same colour as the oatmeal but the corduroy that I have is too light in colour.

I am planning fairisle socks to go with this outfit.

I knit a similar sweater to this last year. I really liked the pattern and the look of the horses against the dark blues and teals.

I changed the pattern this time to have raglan sleeves.

I am going to try this sweater using the Noro sock yarn that I used for the tunic sweater in Aqua and Grey. I think it would look beautiful with the white horses. Also have a lovely sock yarn in pale blues and sand colours and it might work well with it as well.


Haven't decided what I will make to go with this outfit. Probably a hat and possibly socks...

Norwegian knitwear had been very influential. I love the patterns and the styles of the knitwear.

This sweater has just been finished. It has drop shoulders and an overall design. As I knew the pattern would be quite busy I decided to use just two contrasting colours which is very typical of Norwegian knitting.

The dark red and beige work beautifully together.

Not sure about what to accessorise this outfit with yet. I don't want the outfit to become too fussy.

I opened my new knitting magazine last week and just loved the bramble stitch so I decided to try making one of the modern cardigans which fastens with one press stud at the neck and the front opens to show the colour of the top below.

I had wondered what to do with this brightly coloured sock wool for some time and loved the way the colours worked on the textured pattern.

Her vest top is knitted using a 2 ply lace weight shetland wool and looks beautiful underneath the jacket.

I wanted the vest top and the denim trousers to be a back drop to the colourful jacket.

Haven't decided what else this outfit needs to complete it.

Some colours just seem to work together!

I love the shade of this zesty lime wool with the denim blue coloured wool.


One of my passions is fairisle. It is such fun to knit and I love seeing how the pattern is working out.

I have jsut finished the socks for this outfit and it is ready to photograph for the website on the first fine morning that we get. So much rain at the moment. Showers today, light rain tomorrow and heavy rain for Friday!
