merc1clocks knits prem baby items.

I think she might have a layette she can list.  I'll track her down.

[geranne28]

Moz, nip back to the 'other place' and ask.  You are allowed to log in again even though you left of your own accord. 

We are pretty good at pulling out all stops if you need extra help.

[geranne28]

cats09place makes machine-knitted baby blankies..... do you need one mozart?  I can buy one for the prem baby if that would help.

[mozart5255]

geranne.   :-x    its a baby annabelle doll.   thi is the one i bought

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261178927028?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

shes 18 inches long and is heavy for a doll.  is now curious as to her weight and will weigh her tomorrow.     thinking about it if shes 18 inches long she would be in a new born size??

if so new born baby patterns would suit.

i have crochet a blanket for the cot to go with the doll and the cot comes with bedding.

i am just looking for a few clothes i can put with the doll and cot.  its a christmas pressie or will be.

will crochet a few but would like some knitted as well.

you will have to email me the link again.

perrfect i will have a look round tomorrow.   is pooped now.   watched the england match and have been left with a headache due to some drunk groaning i think it was into a mic all night

[mozart5255]

Amy had a Baby Annabelle doll & if I remember rightly 'real' baby clothes didn't fit. The proportions were all wrong. You can buy proper Annabelle knitting patterns & believe. You would be better of with those than baby clothes.:-)

Try pinterest for some patterns for baby annabelle 🙂

Hi mozart and all

Sorry have not been ignoring yas - have been been busy and now my one surviving brain cell hurts:-(

Will get back to this tomorrow.

Good nite all

[geranne28]

I do think you need either Merc1clocs or purrfectcatpurr on this one. The other person who can make knitted doll/baby garments is Whizzy.  She is absolutely superb!  She finished off a half-made children's jumper from Betty's stash without even knowing what pattern Betty had started with.  Oh cat-knitter is also brilliant.  She makes some really intricate toy items.

I have one pattern listed for doll's clothing from Betty's stash Moz - and sizes are 12-14, 16-18, 20-22 inch doll.

(I am not allowed to give you a link because that is promoting a sale - which is against the rules.)

Moz, will send the link again - as I say, we are brilliant at pulling out the 'special requests'.

I have been busy with the crochet hooks, and am hoping to have at least one baby jacket finished, hopefully 2, if my hands can stand it. 🙂

Must admit, it seems to be helping the circulation in my hands, so I reckon it is good therapy 🙂

[mozart5255]

will try and find yer other id geranne unless you can end me the link through email.  addie on me page.

perrrfect or anyone else that can knit  i have found a nice free pattern but you will have to send me your email addie so i can send link please

[purrfectcatpurr]

We have a FREE LISTING WEEKEND for private sellers which coincides with March MDCC:

http://pages.ebay.co.uk/promos/0IF_130329/index.html

Remember that Postal charges go up on 2nd April though (in case you are doing a re-listing)

I use this site for calculating postal costs - really easy-peasy if you weigh your parcels

http://www.seajays.org.uk/postage/

I use one of eBay's partners for courier deliveries:

http://www.myhermes1.co.uk/

I hope this information helps everyone who is listing for MDCC this weekend.  I have my bidding finger ready!

Good luck everyone!

[captainbovine]

that's a brilliant postal costs site Geranne, very informative and easy to follow....

but I still don't like the prices on it:-(
