Inbetween other work, I have been knitted these cute little dolls. I'm quite capitivated by the simplicity of the basic pattern - no more than a tube of various colours, ending with a beanie hat type top. The detail is made by gathering the tube at the neck, and then sewingt hrough the stuffing todelineate the arms and legs. The skirts are knitted by picking up stitches all round before the doll is stuffed.
I have enjoyed choosing different colourways and 'outfits', adding little accessories at the end.
Not sure what to do with them - probably just give them away. The fun for me is in the making, I don't need to keep them afterwards.
Curently on the easel - a Christmas commission double dog portrait - will I finish it in time? That's the burning question!
