Happy New Years everyone! I hope that 2013 is a great year.
I posted about knitting Young Elsie at the end of August. My plan was to make 3 dolls for Christmas. It was down to the wire on one doll! I finished a couple of days before Christmas. Not that it was difficult but it was time consuming given all the details.
I loved all the components that went into this doll and I got to try out a lot of techniques to make the various toys and accessories. I needed a bit of stuffing, paper, straws, and cardboard to bring it all together.
This was for my niece and the poor thing was wary of it as she was very tired and the doll is 16″! In time I hope she warms up to it though my sister was thrilled. My kids are each picking a doll out for themselves so I’ll be working on that this year. 🙂
Jean Greenhowe patterns are so sweet, but making up the figures is very time consuming, isn’t it?
I made it up as I went but yes that can slow you down!
Virgina, I love the new layout!!
Thanks, I wanted a crisper look for the New Year. 🙂
So cute!!!!
How adorable, those are so cute!! Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year to you as well! The patterns for the dolls are so creative.
Oh yes, and I love the new look 🙂
Thanks. 🙂 It was time to step it up a bit.
I know that our grandchildren would love it. Looks fabulous:)
Thanks. 🙂 How old are your grandchildren? My niece is 3 1/2 and she’s a little peanut so the size of the doll threw her off.
this looks like a lot of work, but it is very cute! I’ve made some amigurumis, but I haven’t attempted anything close to this amount of details. Great job!
Thanks. It’s mainly knit, purl, and patience. 🙂
You are so talented!!! So cute 🙂
Thanks. 🙂 She has a whole bunch of doll patterns to choose from.
What an adorable doll! Something I could never do. At one point I attempted knitting, and although I loved it, everything turned out a bit wonky. I’m thinking it’s not my talent. I so admire people who are talented in the crafts. Are you selling any of these darling dolls? 🙂 Thanks for stopping by my blog. Happy 2013, Karista
Some of my knitting goes wonky as well. It can take a lot of patience. I don’t sell these, this was the first one I made and it took me 4 months! I’d have to charge a lot. 🙂
Well it’s just adorable! You did a fabulous job. Again, lots of talent 🙂
Thanks. 🙂
