Dolls

about "Strikkedukker"
at my local Barnes and Nobel.
Oh Joy!!


It is like being a kid again.
This is how my interest for knitting started
many years ago,
too many years....


I used to get all my mothers leftover yarn,
made small miniature yarn balls,
all colors, all thicknesses,
mostly wool.
It was my treasure.


With a rubber band tied around
the end of a couple of staight needles,
 I was set for hours of fun.


So far I only made one doll
from the book.
I had to much fun making clothes
and getting her all dressed up.

Having several little "grandgirls"
I might have to make a couple more...

Have a nice day,
I am enjoying mine...

Denne dukken var bare helt ubeskrivelig herlig. Og med den flotte garderoben du strikker, må det jo vœre en drømme for et pikebarn å få låne den. Tror jeg må få meg denne strikkeboken når jeg er på besøk hos barnebarnet mitt.

Så herlig dukke du har strikket! Og du verden for en flott garderobe hun har. Jeg har strikket 4 slike dukker og det var kjempemorro. Nå fikk jeg lyst å strikke enda en...
