Those of you who are still capable of knitting may be beginning your Christmas gifts.
This might work for a present:
Give Barbie a handknit. I do love a dramatic cowl. The more I look at this, though, I think it might be the earrings stealing the show.
I regret not fully appreciating the Barbie clothes my mother knit and sewed for me. Store-boughts were SO expensive (relatively), and she had a never-ending supply of scrap fabric and leftover yarn. Not too long ago, I came across a dress and coat set made of boucle'. The dress is a brown/light blue/white tweed, and the coat is solid brown. I seem to remember a tie belt for the coat, but it got lost somewhere over all these years.
No big surprise here: my Twinnie also favors the chocolate Tootsie Pops. Good thing there are miles between us --- fighting over our favorite might get ugly.
This photo makes me so, so happy. 💅 Our girl is serious about what she's doing. And look at her fingernails --- she is experienced.

I have yet to fall down the knitting for Barbie rabbit hole but I do have some cute sweaters for her in my Ravelry queue.
My Mom made so many beautiful things for my Barbie--they all went to my daughter and then her daughter! I must admit, my first thought seeing the pic of the little girl was , "OW!" (that foot up on the table!)
I'm working hard on not treating Autumn as a necessary evil before Christmas, but it is hard!
