A Cozy Cape to weave for the Lily Doll

The days are getting longer, and certainly are warmer than a month ago!

But it’s still winter here. Which inspired me to design and weave a cape for Lily Doll:

The kit and pdf are available at https://mirrixlooms.com/lily

I just noticed that the background screen has a white loop that looks like it’s part of the cape sticking out of Lily Doll’s ear. Sigh…. not at all. I could go and re-shoot the photo or I could tell you that I didn’t notice it until now, which is what I have opted to do instead of the sensible solution of re-shooting the photo. Ah well…. and, perhaps you didn’t notice, but now you have.

And, if you did notice and thought that I did something odd, well you were right… I placed Lily Doll in just the wrong spot. Haven’t you ever placed yourself or something in an odd place? It happens.

Mercy on us all!

I weave all the dolls and bears and toys and clothes for the Lily Doll Project on the 5 inch wide Mirrix Chloe loom, which I am madly in love with. It’s a wonderful little sturdy, delightfully adjustable little miracle of excellent design.

Yup. Love it and highly recommend it. I keep having ‘Aha’ and ‘Oh Wow’ moments with it.

My apologies to the 8 inch Chloe loom, which is also a lovely loom, but I am totally smitten by the 5 inch Chloe.

Yes, I am lucky enough to have both, but it is the 5 inch Chloe that is my ‘go to’ loom).

Happy weaving! ❤
