Last week my subject was undone dollies. This week, tada, they are almost finished! I only have two little mermaids left to sew up and I am all done with this portion of my sale stock. I went from this
to this
in just five days! The little babies are about 15cm or 6″ tall and the little kids are 10cm or 4″ tall.
I had a good time putting these together. I usually have fun knitting these little toys; so much fun in fact that I keep on working on the knitting part with no regard as to how long the finishing will take. I normally regret my knitting impulse but this time it was different. I didn’t hurry through the process last weekend. I took my time with the faces and hair and really enjoyed myself.
I confess that I do like all of them but one. I am just not happy with the face on one little one but have a plan to redo the eyes and I think that it will make a huge difference. A couple of the little mouths are crooked but, as in real life, I am just going to accept them as they turned out. Someone will find them huggable I am sure.
I need to get back to reducing my stash and knitting little toys is definitely not the way. I see a blanket or two or at least a couple of bulky sweaters in my future project pile. Now if I can just get to it.
Have a happy week and enjoy whichever craft you decide to work with.
I can’t see the one you want to fix – they all look so adorable! Great job!
Thank you! It is the one with the pink hair but you likely won’t pick up the detail in the group photo. Its eyes are a little too big and black, kinda spooky to me.
