MICRO KNITTING
This is the famous dress that Yves St Laurent designed from his Mondrian collection.
This dress is in the possession of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
I knitted the dress in scales 1-12, 1-24, 1-48, 1-96 and 1-144.
This is the back in scale 1-144.
At the front a small part has to be knitted in yellow.
Then the threads need to be tied off and the dress
sewn together.

The length of these jumpers and dresses is between 4 - 8 mm.
Astounding Knits
This American book is about all kinds of special knits. From micro knitting (mine) to huge knitting and everything in between.
I was honored when they asked me to send me pictures of my micro knitting
The Tiny Garden
In the context of my micro knitting I have tried to dress as small a doll as possible with a knitted dress.
It works with a doll in scale 1/160. The doll is 1 cm.
Then I wanted to make something around the doll. I had a nice plastic box with a magnifying glass in the lid.
That seemed very appropriate. The box was 2.5 x 2.5 cm.
I took a piece of silk canvas measuring 2.5 x 2.5 cm.
In the middle I made a small green carpet with different colors of green sewing thread that looks like a soft lawn.
I embroidered tile shapes along one side with gray sewing thread and added brown stitches along the other edges
to represent earth.
I made tiny flowers of kite paper and tissue paper and "planted" them together with some natural material
and then the TINY GARDEN was ready.
What a wonderfully protected garden to sleep in!
The American magazine Knit-knit issue 5 did an article about The Tiny Garden.
