Handmade Sweater for American Girl Doll

A few weeks ago I posted a link to a Knitted American Girl Retro Cardigan pattern and asked if anyone made one to send in the pictures. Melinda just sent me two pictures of the beautiful purple cardigan she made for her doll.

    OMG! I went to the new AG place in denver and waited 2 hours in line. It was really cool. Was only one floor, you could make doll tees, and my friend was the very first person in line and got a new doll for free! She also got to cut the ribbon to open it. Some people waited 5 hours or more to get in. Anyway, it was really cool.

  14. kelly says:

    u did karis? so did i! i waited a total of five and a half hours in line after arriving at 7 o’clock. the first ten girls in line got a lanie doll, and the first hundred got a t-shirt. i was not one of them though! many other companies were giving out freebies in line. the white chocolate grill, which is right next door to AG denver, bought a hundred doll hair brushes and gave them out for free, and i managed to grab one. i f you ever go to AG place, i have an AWESOME TIP for you: eat at the WHITE CHOCOLATE GRILL. they have DOLL SEATS that hook to the table, so they make up for the fact that AG denver dosn’t have a cafe inside.
    and guess what! at the store, you can even get SINGLE BITTY TWINS!!! awesome!!!

  15. Grace says:

    Cool Kelly! Yeah Karis, what doll did your friend get?
    I want to go to an AG place. :cry: I’ve never been to one :(

  16. Lena says:

    Kelly, you can get single twins in any of the stores, Place or B&B.

    That said, I’m very jealous of you right now.

  17. kelly says:

    well yeah, i dont know anything about the other stores, but i live close to this one! :3

  18. Ana says:

    Thanks for the tip Kelly!

    kelly,you are so lucky!!!(ok,you didn’t win lanie doll but still)
    Anyway so AG store in Denver is probably American Girl “Boutique”,
    since it dosen’t have bistro or cafe,and it’s probably too small for American Girl Place.

    American Girl Place:
    Chicago
    LA
    NYC

    American Girl Boutique&Bistro:
    Atlanta
    Boston
    Dallas
    Minneapolis

    American Girl Boutique
    Denver

    American Girl Outlet
    Oshkosh

    Ok so it’s all the stores that AG has. ONLY 9 of them! They need to make 1 or 2 more. 1 in Pacific northwest,and 1 in northeast. Anyway I am wondering if AG will make a store in Florida-it has so many popular places which means more people.

  20. AG&FAN says:

    And I can imagine that first 10 girls waited in line since like,6 am or maybe even 5 am,since kelly mentioned that she came in 7 am but she wasn’t one of the 100 girls.
    PS.AG store Denver only has 1 floor? Oh,well,it’s probably 2nd smallest AG store(AG outlet is smallest,probably). So that gives us possibility of having more stores(probably small ones) without ending up with AG stores everywhere.

  21. Lena says:

    ^^^The one in Atlanta was pretty small too. One floor.

  22. Ana says:

    I never been to Atlanta AG store. Lena, is it cool there?

  23. Michelle says:

    So beautiful! I wish I knew how to knit, knowing how klutzy I am, I would probably knit it all wrong…. :P :)

  24. Julie says:

    Hey its julie coming from her phoney!

    i got julie finally!
    shes sooo cute and her hair is 2 die4… lol not seriously but u no wat i mean.

    its late and i should get 2 bed.. nitenite

  25. kelly says:

    actually, most of the first hundred girls spent the night in line

  26. Julia says:

    sorry ment safe not save

  27. Julia says:

    but say da message nicely!!!!

  28. Julia says:

    well actually my friend was in my account and she is the one who was friends with the dude so’s i had nothing to do w/ it.

  29. Julia says:

    they should make a store in Miami, Florida

  30. Julie says:

    I asked her today and she said to not ask anymore otherwise she’ll take away my Youtube account. Thanks soo much for that comment anyways!
    I think I am gonna ask my Dad if I can have a birthday party at an AG Place, and see if I can invite her. My Dad is MUCH easier to convince. I don’t see him much anyways so he trusts me.. and my additude is directed towards Mom.. LOL.

  31. Rachel says:

    Rachel who said secondie!!! Stop using my name ok??

  32. Michaela says:

    That’s great that you got Julie, Julie! I want her too.

  33. Julie says:

    Thanks… I want to go to Stephens college really badly.. im too young to be thinking about college.. LOL.

  34. Lena says:

    I think they’ll make a store in Orlando, FL. Cause we have a lot of tourists, and tourists spend a lot.

  35. Grace says:

    Julie, that’s were Sarah (aka stephenswodadancer) goes. I live by Oshkosh I luv it there :D

  36. Julia says:

    They should make a store in NC so I can go there 8O

  37. Julia says:

    The closest to me is like 4 to 8 hours away. I’m selfish :)

  38. Julia says:

    oh cool. Enjoy Julie, Julie! ;)

  39. Julie says:

    Grace, that is how I found out about it!

  40. AG&FAN says:

    AG Boutique Denver IS the smallest AG store!(if you don’t include AG outlet).
    Denver is 8500 square feet,and Atlanda(which is only other store that has one floor) is 12000 square feet. Both are quite small compared to NY and LA’s
    42000 square feet and Chicago’s 52000 square feet. But still!!!

    anyway i’m not sure if I will wait forever just to get a doll…

    Lena,I agree! I can see it will bring more “money”(since it’s what they want).
    Actually they should make one in Portland or Seattle,and Orlando!!
    American Girl Place Orlando(I think it will be a PLACE) and boutique&bistro in pacific northwest.

  41. Michaela says:

    Here are the places where AG should make an AG Place”
    Pliladelphia and/or Pittsburgh
    Seattle
    Portland
    Orlando

  42. Lena says:

    The store in Atlanta has a big cafe, don’t forget.

    I agree that if they make one in Orlando it’ll be a place. Millenia Mall would be perfect for it, cause that place is full of boutiques. Or Flordia Mall, that’s a normal mall, considering what the mall in Atlanta was (also pretty normal).

  43. Hannah says:

    That’s really pretty! I love the color! :D

  44. Grace says:

    Hi!!!!!!! How are u guys? I REALLY want Lanie now!!!!!!

  45. Ana says:
