That's really beautiful handwork, Pammy! I am very impressed. I wish I had a little girl to buy one of those dresses for. Are these American Girl dresses and are they a good size for a cabbage patch doll? I still have a cabbage patch doll I got for my daughter years ago.

Pammy, how much would it cost to get the hand stitched stockings you made?

You guys are very, very sweet. Thank you so much for your feel-good compliments. Diana, I knit little dresses for both American Girl dolls and Cabbage Patch dolls. The American Girl ones are just a wee bit more slender and taller. I knit the AG ones on size 6 needles and the CPK ones on size 7 needles and adjust the bodice a little for a CPK's stockier shape. These two dolly dresses actually sold this morning, just 24 hours after listing them in my shop. I would LOVE to knit a dress for your Cabbage Patch dolly, Diana! My dresses are currently selling for $16 each plus $3 shipping for the first dress and $1 shipping for each additional dress after that. Tights and shoes not included. If you would like me to make you a dress for your dolly, let me know if you'd like a Christmas dress, or a dress in a different color scheme. I'd be willing to use up to 3 different colors on one dress. No pressure! Only if you really want to buy one. Your friendship is more important to me than a sale. Emily, while I am terribly flattered that you would ask, I will never cross stitch stockings for sale. I'd have to charge way more than most people could pay for them. Most of the ones I made for my family took nearly a year each to complete. I made them for the seven of us, but future children-in-law and future grandchildren will have hand knitted stockings like the one I made for Hughes. Still personal and made with love, but there is no way I can commit to cross stitching stockings for my posterity beyond the children I birthed. Thank you too, Chace.

I would love to have the first dress--the one that is mostly white--for the cabbage patch doll, but only if it is possible to get it for Christmas. I think it would be fun to bring the doll to our Christmas celebration in it. I think my daughter and our friends would get a great kick out of it. The price is fine. Please say if that is too much pressure. If it is, maybe I could look at your Etsy shop and get something else.

Diana, I will make it for you and your dolly! Thank you so much! Does your doll have her own socks (or tights) and shoes? I don't think I have a spare pair of shoes to give up, but I think I have a little pair of tights I could let go. I could either sell you a brand new pair of white tights for the $5 I paid for them, or I could GIVE you a little pair of used dolly tights that's old, but still good.

The used dolly tights that are still good would be fine. I would also pay for shipping. It would be so nice to have something you made. Also, then I can tell my daughter about you. Would you like me to pay you through your etsy shop? I can send you a private message with my address..

Diana, you can just send me a personal check, because I know you. If you want, you can even wait until you receive the little dress. No need to pay additional shipping for the tights. They are pretty weightless. Just the $3 shipping will be fine. How fun it will be to knit knowing it's for you! Thanks so much, everybody. I would KNIT stockings by request, but not cross stitch them. I really enjoy the cross stitching part, even though it takes many months, but I absolutely HATE the cut & sew assembling part. Ugh! Those were a real labor of love. If only I could just do the hand stitching and have a professional seamstress do the assembly....

Great news, Diana! I have finished your dolly's little dress! Here it is, modeled by (believe it or not) my little doll, Emma.
