Yarn Along


doll in progress
Joining Ginny in this weeks Yarn Along. Still working on Fiona's birthday gift. Not so much knitting the last few days, BUT I am using yarn and a crochet hook, so it's close right? I am still following the pattern from the Wee Folk Art website, but now I am on to part two, hair and face. I want to have this little dollie done by Saturday, although I am sure Fiona won't care, and I still have no idea what to make her to wear. Should I knit up a simple smock dress? Try and make a dress with some fabric and hand sew it? Use wool felt and stitch up a little something that doesn't need a hem? I have no idea. Maybe I should have have knitted her in on yarn for the body and another for the head (meaning she would always have clothing on! LOL
I am also still reading All Wound Up which I am really enjoying. She makes me want to knit socks! Which I think I might start on as soon as I finish this doll. I still have a sweat 1/2 done for Fiona, but I am just not feeling it any more. Maybe I will rip it and make something else with that yarn. I have no idea.

I love the blue and green hair. That doll is going to be super cute. and if your kiddo is anything like mine, she's going to enjoy dressing and undressing and dressing...

Hmmm, probably the speediest option would be sewing a dress out of felt. Though I gotta say, I love the idea of having the clothing incorporated into the doll pattern, because anything else you make will surely be taken off, as is the childhood way with dolls :-)

LOVE that hair!
