Yuki Nagato knits a sweater . . .

Posted by PrettyCranium 

Yuki Nagato had been feeling a bit restless. She felt like she was always wearing the same old outfit, her boring school uniform. But she did not have the money to buy too many new clothes. So, since she is a very quick learner, she decided to knit herself a new sweater.

Yuki: This looks like a good yarn to use. It's 100% alpaca yarn.

Yuki: Ta-dah! All done. I think it fits quite well, don't you?

The pants are from Puppy52 and they fit perfectly! I was able to get them onto Yuki with her body suit still on and without removing her feet. She had to go without pantsu, though ;)

I have to thank my sister, who did the crochet edging on the sweater for me (the scallops on the border). I'm quite good at knitting but not so much at crochet. Sister to the rescue!

A close-up of the knitting. I used Misti Alpaca lace-weight yarn and size 1.5 mm needles. It took a long time!

Yuki: It's getting a bit hot. I'll take the sweater off so you can see my fabulous new Puppy Pants and Jessica's top.

      Thanks, Chun! I spend so much time knitting that I'm surprised that it took me this long to knit for my DDs. I was put off by the tiny yarn and needles.

      I think there will be arguments over who gets to wear the pants next . . .

        If you use tiny needles and thin yarn, I would think it would take as long to knit for a DD as compare to human o_o!

          It does take just as long as to knit for a human. To make the same sweater for myself, I'd just increase the yarn size and the needle size.

    Really great job. When I saw it I was surprised at how well "scaled" it is for DD. I've seen a few knitted things before and I guess they all used 'human sized' yarn and needles. ??? You could see it didn't look right on the DD.

    Your's looks perfect on her! Makes me wish I knew how to knit.
