And then say a few words about it, if you want to...    

 

 

 

 

Let us know if you're there too!

 

The feet / shoes are like those of Bratz dolls, which does add an air of disbelief when you may need to remove the feet in order to get the trousers off. However, our knit4dolls trousers can be taken off the toy while it still has its shoes on... Likewise jackets and T-shirts can be removed while the hands are still attached...   

 

I was pleased to see that the figure is wearing underwear. Barbie has her undies embossed onto her; Bratz have theirs painted on; Action Man doesn't wear any, but hasn't got anything to cover up anyway; whereas HM Armed Forces has green vest and pants incorporated into the moulding. This approach makes the figures lifelike and does away with any explanations.  

 

It is unfortunate however, from a knitting point of view, that the vest has short sleeves and a neckline. The sleeveless vest that was very handy for Action Man, couldn't be used for HM Armed Forces because the green sleeves of the vest would have shown. The neckline of the green vest is not a great problem but it does show sometimes around the neckline of T-shirts and jumpers.

 

Nevertheless I think that it is a really great toy!

 

Thank you for your lovely comments. I hope that my English is clear enough for you. The Forum has been running for over a year now, but I haven't had much time to devote to it. More people are joining in now so I am adding bits and pieces.

 

Do post photos of your knitted items. I would love to see them. I hope that I have set the Forum up for people to add photos... 

 

 

 

 

I am Alexandra and live in France .

I love to knit for fashion dolls and just discover your wonderful patterns !

 

Hope to have fun here!

 

There are people who knit, people who sell yarn and people who sell knitted items... Oh, and people like me who design patterns. I would like to sell the knitted items too, because some people just cannot knit and it is a shame that they / their children miss out.

 

I found 'forcesdiscounts' on Twitter, and have offered all Armed Forces personnel the opportunity to download, for free, our HM Armed Forces knitting patterns, that can also be knitted up in different colours for Dad at home!

 

 

 

It's great to hear from you. We have a few members now but you are the first to post. I shall start adding more things again...

 

I tried teaching my daughter to knit years ago... and failed. But I don't think that she was interested. I was the one who was eager. Plus she was left-handed! Ugh!

 

The reason I designed these patterns, originally, was because I feel it's important that children actually finish knitting something, and play with it, to encourage them to have another go. As a child I never ever finished knitting anything! See how your grandaughter gets on with our patterns. The smallest things don't take long, and if she goes wrong, then it won't take too long to help her out. They really are very simple.

 

Let us know how it goes, for her, and you!
