This is the 1963 update of
Sweater Girl #976 (1959-1962). The 1963 version was royal blue -
Knitting Pretty (Royal Blue) #957 (1963). Skipper's coordinating
ensemble is
School Days #1907 (1964 - 1965)
This is the rarest, and therefore the most
valuable, of the three similar ensembles. With all three
ensembles, it is difficult to find the sweaters intact – most of them have
varying degrees of holes, the wool just doesn’t hold up. The skirt is the
easiest to find, as is the yarn bowl. The tiny scissors and “book” can be
hard to find. In 2007, a Pink Knitting Pretty reproduction was included in the
Barbie &
Skipper Knitting Pretty Gift Set, which also included the first Skipper doll
reproduction. |
