Barbie's Sterilite Box

Here are several pieces from Barbie's closet.

First, I found the crocheted tote (Epstein) to go with the dress from yesterday. Barbie's clothes are not actually in a closet (gasp) but in a large Sterilite box in my daughter's room, which is chock full of everything Barbie. I have had this tote in prgress for myself in a really thick grey for a year or so. I just don't need more bags, so it has fallen by the wayside, cute as it is.

Here are a few others I dug out today:

A pink and white ski sweater & hat (Epstein); pants to match not shown.

One of my first from Epstein a couple of years ago--the Valentine sweater--which Barbie should be digging out herself soon. This one is starting to show that it has been loved.

My first tutu; still one of my favorites. The carry-along yarn added just the perfect stiffness. It was also knit flat, seamed and fitted with with snaps for really great lines.

And a recent tutu for a friend's daughter. I knit them in the round now, once I figured out they fit over the head fine. It works better for little hands and there are no choking hazards.
