But then they started coming out with different outfits for Dolores... uh oh. At first it was just one. No big deal!
Darlings. There are twenty-six numbered kits (I am currently eagerly awaiting the most recent release #26). I have eleven and the original stuffie kit. And the umbrella. And a couple of drawstring bags. I still lament not being able to get the Hamptons holiday kit.
It's not just me. She does have her own FaceBook page.
I finally put together a binder for the patterns:
The bags are filled with yarn. And little roller skates. And a mini rolling pin. As well as Dolores' umbrella and glasses for her Suffragette outfit. I have grand plans for staging her at various places in the house.
The only thing I have actually knit from the collection, I gave as a gift. (I may have yarn stashed to make another.)
My family rolls their eyes and snort almost in unison when I mention a new Dolores pattern, with loud variations on "What is the outfit this time?" I then giggle slightly maniacally and show them (of course).
Does this slow me down? Of course not! If I am smitten with the winter holiday outfit that comes out will I try and get my (slightly) obsessed hands on it? Yes!
One of my personal knitting goals is to try and knit one kit a month in 2021 (assuming more are not produced that make me hit Add to Cart in less than a blink of an eye), because even better than Dolores-in-potentia is Dolores modelling her glorious outfits for the neighbors in our front window. :-D
