Recent FOs

I've just about had it with all of the doll stuff, but I still have some unfinished shoes, and unfinished dress, and lots of felt left. And a doll knitting pattern open on my computer. And a barely started stocking that I just decided to start. Nevermind the socks, lace scarf and Owls sweater I've still been working on. Kind of.

But I've had a few FOs recently, a little drawstring bag to put a perfume oil into (a gift for a cousin, we'll see how it's received). Open:

 and closed:
 The still-unnamed doll's skirt, which is larger than the last one and will need a drawstring:
 Doll stockings:
 That match the Bamboletta cardigan I made last year:
You can see one of her pairs of unfinished shoes in the picture. I've had it with the shoes. I've made half a dozen pairs of shoes and you know what? They don't fit doll feet. Because doll feet are squishy and have no heels. It seems so pointless. Maybe I should just focus on clothes. From what I remember, shoes never stayed on my Cabbage Patch or Barbie dolls either, they were always in danger of getting lost.

This doll pullover is next in my queue, but I haven't decided which yarn I want to use. I have a lone skein of Cascade Paints in a red/berry mix, but I haven't decided whether it would be better used as a pullover or this cape. And would the doll (or my daughter) even wear the cape? Or would it be a welcome addition of variety to the doll's wardrobe?
