I carry some McQueenie's wood kits at my website store (www.dollhouseneedleoint.com) and at my Etsy store (https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ScarletSails?section_id=11132032&ref=shopsection_leftnav_3).
One of them, dollhouse miniature child mannequin kit gave me a lot of troubles in past. May be Lynne and Bernard McQueenie took too realistic picture of a miniature child mannequin, but funny story is that people who purchase those child mannequin's kits think it is a real size mannequin. They pay, I ship, and then I receive a message from them asking if it is possible to return it back. In a word, I had hard time to sell that particular kit. Finally, giving up on an idea to sell them, I made a decision to put them together and dress.
It was time I used and loved to knit in real size. I thought it would be great to try knitting in miniature.
Here is my first attempt in miniature knitting - a girl's blue sweater. Overall height of a dressed miniature child mannequin, including neck is 3 3/4" (95 mm).
By the way, if you are interested in purchasing this child mannequin kit, I have 4 kits left.
1/12th scale child mannequin kit consisting of 5 mahogany pieces and a resin body.
Overall height, including neck: 95mm (3 3/4")
Assembly instructions included.
Happy miniaturing!

Beautiful!!
I love this knitted sweater, Natalia, you even knitted in a pattern :D! Regarding these mannequin: I didn't understand it all quite well, but are these mannequins for kids and are their bodies too big for the size? Is that what you meant? I have bought such a kit years ago, but I've not opened it yet....
I wish you a lovely weekend!
Hugs, Ilona
You have many talents, this jumper is really gorgeous.

WOW! I love the color and the design. You did a beautiful job. Especially since it is your first miniature sweater!!! I would love to have a RL one that looked just like it. :-)

Precioso jersey.
Hard to believe that this is your first try in miniature knitting - anybody looking at it and not knowing would never believe it. And even with a pattern - wow!

Your knitting is as beautiful as your needlework. You have dressed the mannequin beautifully.
precioso
Aww... Is there anything you can't do..?? ;)
ABSOLUTELY love it! And the color.. Well, you know how I love blue :)
Beautiful work - as always.
Hugs, Irina
Awesome sweater! I like so much that you even snowflakes vyvyazali. Looks very realistic. I also love to knit, want to try to knit lace for your dollhouse, a thread even took the coil already. I once made the spokes of the large Roma needles, needles wore eraser. And you have used needles?
This is great work - and doing stranded knitting in your first piece is so brave and it paid off! I love the little skirt too. Really cute. Have to laugh about people thinking they were real size - don't people ever read the descriptions!!!
WOW! Such a beautiful sweater! The pattern is great, I also like the colour. Hannah
