Shame averted, fillum at 11.
Well, unfortunately, at the aforementioned Blythe meet, one of my dolls went there without her underpants. Let's face it, I have more dolls than underpants and there was a shortage and I didn't put her in tights so her joints would be more obvious. That was clearly a bad decision as some people noticed and worse yet, someone got a photo.
Well, that spurred me, lemme tell you. I was really, really embarrassed, especially as the doll in question is anatomically correct. So I stayed up until 1:30 a.m. last night/this morning and knit her a nice giant pair of pants. They're practically bloomers!


Yarn: That's a really good question. I've lost the label but I think it was Lion Brand Babysoft in black. It's certainly a light worsted, I can tell you that.
Needles: Size 2(US) and man alive, was that hard. It's too teeny for anything more involved.
Pattern: From a 1968 pamphlet for knit clothes for fashion dolls. This was the bottom half of a 2-piece blouson bathing suit (for "Little Sister-size 9" fashion dolls"). I added ribbing to the top, lost a stitch somewhere and sewed on the lace trim afterwards to make it look even more old-fashioned.
