Another Little Sweater

Nami is back home, and decided to try on my second little sweater - not that she needs one today, with it being so hot and humid. For this second sweater I wanted some texture, so I used a "box stitch". I had to alter my already altered pattern because the box stitch works out wider and shorter than just plain old stockinette stitch. So this sweater is nice and roomy.

I also finally figured out how to make button loops small enough for my tiny buttons. I did buy larger buttons at Micahaels for the first pink sweater, but the buttonholes are still too big, so I'll have to go along with some matching sewing thread and make all the buttonholes smaller. At Michaels I was tempted by some nice super-fine multi-coloured sock yarn for another sweater, so I bought a ball. 

However, I've been thrown off by an issue with my Peach. She has pale marks in her resin right in the middle of her face along the tip and bridge of her nose. They were not visible on the blank head but showed up during the faceup process. In real life they aren't that noticeable except in certain lighting conditions - and if it's pointed out. I need to contact Iplehouse and see what they say about it, because these dolls are too expensive to just accept a flaw, especially in the middle of the face, and unfortunately it's all I see now. The marks are most visible in black & white....

It's very disappointing, because I thought I'd finally sorted out the situation with my second KID, and now she has an issue.   But, ignoring the marks, she sure looks nice in black and white.
