Hello my dear needleworkers, I hope you are well, today I would like to show you a recount of the dresses I have knitted for my dear Kalanny. That's why this week's Needleworkmonday publication has the title: "Kalanny's fashion week".
Since Kalanny and I started our journey together, we have had a great connection, we have made a great team, me as a designer and knitter, and her as a model of the dresses. The truth is that I think that having a doll to serve as a model was what I needed to make my dream of making knitted dresses come true; because this way I can make them in a scale size, without running the risk of wasting time and material.
The first outfit I knitted for Kalanny was the outfit to participate in the Needleworkmonday Barbies contest. This contest made me want to have my own doll and that's how I found Kalanny. For this contest I designed a one shoulder mermaid cut dress in a beautiful coral shade. I was very proud of the result and very happy with the acceptance of this first outfit.
After the contest I was very motivated to continue knitting Barbie dresses. Another source of inspiration has been the creations of my friends in the community @creacioneslelys, @lauramica, @jicrochet among other friends who make excellent Barbie outfits. I see more and more people in the community interested in sewing or knitting for Barbie, so I have a feeling that the second edition of the @needlewormonday contest is going to be super exciting. And if you don't have your Barbie yet, you have time to get one and start practicing.
También agradezco la receptividad que han tenido este tipo de publicaciones.
Y se me acaba de ocurrir,(con el permiso de nuestra querida @crosheille y las demás administradoras) que debería existir una etiqueta #barbiefashion, o algo así por el estilo dentro de nuestra comunidad.
Something I have discovered as I have knitted for Kalanny, is that I love to replicate dresses. It is very exciting for me to make a crochet version of some dresses that have fascinated me and that for obvious reasons I could not make in real size. The whole process is wonderful for me and I am very anxious to see the final result, in all of them I have been very satisfied and very pleased, I also appreciate the receptivity that this kind of publications have had. And it just occurred to me (with the permission of our dear @crosheille and the other administrators) that there should be a tag #barbiefashion, or something like that within our community.
Muchas gracias por seguir mi evolución como tejedora y por apoyar mis publicaciones. Nos vemos en un próximo Lunes de agujas. Saludos y bendiciones.
This post shows most of the outfits I have knitted so far, I hope very soon to publish new replica dresses and a collection of clothes for winter, since this country we are at the beginning of the season.
Thank you very much for following my evolution as a knitter and for supporting my publications. See you in the next Needle Monday. Greetings and blessings.
