My New Sasha Girl, Yasmina

As you can see in my Christmas family picture, my Sasha family has expanded again. I was bidding on three different dolls on Ebay last fall and I won this honey blond. I was very happy with winning her and for a very reasonable price! :) She has a beautiful combination of honey blond hair with brown eyes. She came to me in her box with a wrist tag, but she was redressed for some reason. She was wearing a hand made green dress and green sandals.

The next two pictures are the seller's pictures from eBay and  you see the outfit she was sold in. I love this doll! For a few days I was thinking about a name and then it came naturally. She is Yasmina.

This is the green angora dress I made for her recently.

I love her hair, it is very soft and the color is beautiful!

A purple drop down waist holiday dress

I knitted the dress from some scrap yarn that I bought at a knitting club yarn auction about two years ago. The color was very pretty and the yarn soft (Bouton d'Or Angora 70). I wasn't sure if there was enough to make anything. It was only 25 g of yarn. I was thinking of a blouse for a doll, but it appears that I had enough for a dress.

The dress is knitted from the top down. I decreased a few stitches to emphasize the waist line. After the drop in stitches at the waist line I doubled the stitches once. I did not have yarn to make the dress longer, but I did not want to do it anyway. I like this length. 

So Ivanka received her new holiday dress. And I love it very much.
