Not the whole weekend, and really not that many miniatures. But I did make a few tiny items. DD1 wanted a sock key chain, so I knit up this. The cell phone is for scale. She likes it, but tells me that she would really like another one made in the same yarn I used for Mandy's ankle socks. Her key chain collection is amazing for someone who only has 1 or 2 keys.
And I knit this, it took about 40 minutes to construct. Now I know that all the Barbies in the house have pants .... somewhere. I know that these dolls have a much more extensive wardrobe than I do, and I have spent a small fortune on keeping these dolls in fashionable attire. But for some reason, the only thing we could find to cover this doll is an evening gown, and of course a brand new, hand knit, raglan sweater. So really not a whole weekend of minis, but a few.
And these are on their way to Arizona, to SWTC. It is TOFUtsies in color 789. I really did like knitting with this yarn. There will be more in my future I am sure. And I usually don't block my socks that I knit for myself. The sock blockers are just to take pretty pictures of the socks. But these socks were so nice blocked, I may have to change my thinking on the whole sock blocking thing.
The afghan continues to grow and socks are being knit ... and frogged. More later.

Kaitlin will need keychains once she really starts driving, but if she doesn't want it...
And the Barbie sweater is cute, maybe she will start a new fashion trend with her lovely combination. And I'm so happy your patterns are getting published. You create such wonderful designs and really need to be in print.
Love those socks!
Have you seen the miniature sock blockers? I got a bunch of those and knit the socks for gifts. Now I'm doing the earrings ... like I'm not already "nuts"! I use to crochet doll clothes for my daughter's Barbie when she was young. A whole suitcase full. Best dressed doll in town! Now she has little girls of her own & I'm still crocheting doll clothes ... but maybe soon ... I'll knit some.

Oh Barbie, you look so cuuuuuuuuuute!
Cute little sock. Love the fact that the barbie has knitted attire too.
Those socks look great. I need to get some sock blockers too.
Love your teeny tiny sock and Barbie's sweater. Lovely socks as well!
happy knitting :)
Wonderful socks!
I can't imagine knitting a Barbie sweater, but that one looks great!
What a cute little sock. That would drive me NUTS!
The miniatures are very cute. The Barbie sweater is great. I use my sock blockers mainly to photograph. Half the time I want the washed socks to "shrink" down so they stay up better! I have more pictures of the west on my blog.
Love the mini sock, the Raglan is adorable and the socks look wonderful!
Oh I love the mini's. I have never done the Barbie knitting, but someday!
Did you eat mini chocolate chips or mini marshmallows while you minnied?
I don't dare show my dd the barbie doll sweater - I'm sure I'd be knitting an entire store of them!
Gorgeous socks as always!
I've never knitted miniatures, they look very cute.
