Meet Mary Beth

What fun I had making this sweet dolly.


I learned something new about knitting too. I learned that when picking up stitches along the front edges of a cardigan...one must pick up about 20 stitches, not 15. 15 stitches cause the front edges to curve a bit. It looks good and gives her cardigan a bit more character than it already had.
The black floral fabric in Mary Beth's jumper is some of my favorite fabric EVER! I had used every last scrap of it and was weeping and wailing every time I opened my fabric cupboard door when one day, one glorious sun shiny day, I found it online while browsing through fabric at Joanns.com. I promptly ordered 5 yards. A girl has to have her favorite fabric!

Mary Beth is in my shop. :)
