AG Collector Spring Swap |
This swap was made for Annette Jensen from the AG Collector list. It is for her American Girl Kit doll. I made the dress with embroidered collar and the cloth doll with a dress to match. The doll is made from the dollhouse doll pattern in Edith Flack Ackley's Dolls to Make for Fun and Profit which was published in 1938, just a few years after Kit's time. I also knitted matching sweaters for Kit and her EFA doll. The Kit sweater is from a slightly adjusted (I left out a couple of rows and used sport weight yarn and small needles) Five Hour Baby pattern. It really does work up nearly that fast. As a finishing touch I made Kit a diary with the story of her new dress and doll's dress written in it by hand. This was a really fun swap to work on. |
