FO-doll clothes

This weekend I took a break from "regular" knitting and knit up a little doll skirt and top. The skirt is Mini Me's Three Tiered Doll skirt pattern, and the top is modified from Mini Me's Striped Doll Dress. And by modified, I mean it was supposed to be a dress knit in fingering weight, and I knit a top in worsted weight.

The skirt was knit in KnitPicks Shamrock (the blue), Shine worsted (the orchid color) and Cascade Eco Wool, bound off with the Shine worsted. Originally, I thought that by adding the Eco Wool, it would match the grey Little Leaves doll sweater I'd knit the doll, but I don't know. All it did for sure was to ensure I had enough yarn to finish the top (I have about one yard of Shine leftover). Basically, all the skirt did was let me use up some odds and ends, but I don't think it's very good looking.

Of course, the doll isn't going to complain. Maybe I'll knit it another skirt someday.

So the Little Leaves sweater still has nothing to match it. I have this one orphan skein of Cascade 220 Paints in a red mix, I'm thinking of knitting the doll a dress with that now. And now I totally know where all of my little leftover balls of yarn will go, when they're bright colored at least. No idea what to do with all of the grey leftovers.

My next doll endeavor is stockings. I don't find this particularly fun though, so they may end up being the doll's only pair of stockings. I finally found patterns for doll shoes too, but now I can't find the felt I'd bought. This is so much fun I almost want to make myself a Waldorf doll, but then my family members would laugh at me.

Itty Bitty hasn't seen any of the clothes yet. I'm thinking of saving them for Christmas and handing them all over to her, en masse. But I'm not sure about how to package it. What kind of presentation would shock and awe?
