Barbie-Crochet Sweater, Simple Bling and a fall day at the farm

Since it's getting cooler out I wanted to try crocheting a cute little sweater for Barbie, no pattern, just winged it. I made the sweater in 5 pieces, front, sleeves and 2 back pieces (it closes with a button up top.) All double crochet and I just kept holding it up to the doll and decreasing as I went.

This was the first time I used very thin yarn ($1 at AC Moore) and a dinky little 1/2.75MM hook.
It was a fun "just to see if I could do it" project and I love the way the sweater turned out!

The necklaces are a good rainy day project for girls, but they need to be old enough to 

hold the tiny beads in their fingers and push the elastic through. Not a new idea here folks, just a reminder that it's fun to make some-and Barbie says a girl can never have enough bling:@)

The Necklaces:

1. Elastic that's thin enough to go through seed beads or whatever beads you want to use. 
2. String on as many beads as you'd like, add an initial or fun accent bead to the middle if desired. Make sure the circle will fit over her head/hair. The elastic will begin to fray on the end while adding beads, just trim it as necessary.
3. Tie it off, trim the ends and I'm always a fan of a dab or two of super glue to secure the knot.

Pumpkins and pigs, sounds like a fun time at the farm!

Have a happy day:@)
