I used Grandson's leftover yarn (an Aran style in size 2) for this sweater and hat for Gregor.
You need a basic sewing machine, thread, and a pair (or one!) of knee high adult socks. I like socks with a bit of lycra in the fabric content. You will need about 4-5 minutes to sew the tights. 
Turn the sock inside out; measure down from the top to accomodate the doll's torso. It'll be roughly 4 inches.
Fold the sock flat, cut off the foot, and stitch down the center, twice, leaving a small space, about 1/8 inch, to cut open.
After stitching twice, cut the two legs apart. 
Fold the foot as pictured and stitch across, twice. 
Here's another view of the stitched foot.
Voila!! They're a good fit so some little hands might need help from larger hands to get these on the doll. They will NOT fall down!!
Here's another view of the foot when the tights are on the doll.
His San Diego socks asre done and I have leftover yarn for another doll sweater. The sweater is knit from the neck down, increasing every other row at the markers to form a raglan style cardigan.
The Kids' Sewing "Girl's Skirt" class is this afternoon and I found a doll pattern that is so similar. Doll Patterns are usually $14.95 but they are on sale this week for a mere .99. At $14.95, I usually take time to draft my own! Can't wait to be able to spread out and sew, sew, sew!
We are having some great "snow-melt" days so our two cars are now parked next to the house again, out of the park and ride garage.
Lots of snow has melted but yes, there is still plenty for those interested in building a snowman or throwing some wet snowballs at a friend!
Somehow I purchased two skeins of Indulgence sock yarn with the same colorway. So, I'm knitting bulky boot socks using two strands at once and using size 2 dpns. For me! To fit into my too large size 8 Doc Martens! I love my floral boots! 
Leftover sock yarn becomes doll sweaters to be sold on etsy and ebay. 
Believe it or not, I found a few yards of the correct colorway to doctor the hole I have in one heel!! I knit these last year and knit two doll sweaters of the leftover, and still have a bit in my stash to repair the hole. Yes, I keep all bits and pieces of yarn! 
I went downstairs to photograph his socks and found the cute doc checking emails and surfing! 
On the way to and from St. Thomas More church, I knit these in the dark. I don't have to worry about seeing this project as it is so basic, and our new house will get new cloths to replace some well used ones. 
Knitting while waiting for the nine cute Girl Scouts to arrive for class on the 15th. They were the most well-behaved group of ten year olds!! 
His socks! They are almost done, thanks to joining Ruth on Thursday morning (13th) at Whole Foods where we enjoyed coffee, chatting, and knitting. Socks are so portable, maybe that's one reason I knit so many pairs every year!

I have wanted to knit these socks for a long time. They are called Eunice..................
and are a pattern in cookie a's book called Sock Innovation. I found the book at our library this afternoon! Yay!
I started a Ladybug earflap hat, using my own design, for little Brooklyn, my giggly granddaughter. 
Stop sign is DEAD! This actually occured last night between our shoveling of the driveway (yes, twice).
Jeff brushed off the snow before we went to bed; this morning my car had some ice but not much snow. 
Pam's car was rather chilly too.
She likes the snow!! Her new boots work great!
May I have mittens, please?

Done! I can't wait to wear them!
I want the leftovers of this yarn for a doll sweater so will hurry up and finish knitting the socks.
The backyard, shady areas, and side streets are still covered with snow.
Main streets are dry today. The melting snow and flow of water would make a great science experiment!
