Already got it, although given my limited knitting skills, I'd be more likely to applique stars on a dark blue sweater we already have.

Right now I am considering the pajamas. Laurel is down with orange polka dots and I have an orange solid I could stamp with fabric paint to make the dots. (I could do a custom print with Spoonflower, but that's pretty spendy for a one-shot costume.) Am a little confused because she has a dressing gown/bathrobe in the book, but that's par for me.

A-Kon is a three-day event so I'm thinking the pajamas for Friday afternoon/evening, maybe the starry sweater outfit for Saturday and the raincoat for Sunday. I already have a pair of yellow wellies that are about her size.

I'd guess they're 1.5" to 2" (this is based on looking at pictures of the doll), but the dots are maroon and white. I don't mind adding dots with fabric paint since this will be a costume she'll probably wear twice at most. Thanks for the offer, though!

Will she have large black button eyes?

OMG did you see the video posted on the Craftzine blog about the woman who knitted her tint sweater and mittens? If not, here you go.

That'd be pretty cool actually. You have to stop by Artist's Alley and show me how the costume turns out!
