YARN ALONG

Except for a face  and
some hair, I finished
the doll I began last
week.  I solved the sewing
problem by putting the
doll in a dress that I wore.
The doll was so easy and quick
I have already begun another.
This time I thought I would
make a boy doll to have a pair.

I am not usually a magazine
reader, but during a past
Yarn Along  the MaryJanesFarm Magazine
was featured. I picked one
up at Barnes and Noble  and
love it! I will be sending in the little
card so I will not have to hunt for
it, it will arrive right in my mail box.
The article about chickens and
making chicken nappies is over
the top! Of course, now I am back
to the whole sewing issue! xx

Linking with Ginny.

    That's going to be a cute doll-it reminds me of something Mom or Nanny would make. I'll have to look for that magazine-it sounds interesting.

    Such beautiful photos, and I love how the pink is pulled right out with the flower, dress, and magazine :). The doll looks so very sweet :).

    Looks like your doll is a 'doll'. Very pink dress she's wearing.
    I just may have to put this project on my list.
    If I don't get backing to either my knitting or quilting my list will not get any shorter.
    Hugs,
    Gerry

    What a divine little project - well done you! The wool looks lovely and soft, and perfect for squooshy dolly hugs.

    I love that close-up of your yarn and needles. Just makes me want to pick up my needles and knit right now.
    You've made great progress on your knitted doll! I'm sure it will be well loved!

    Oh, that petal pink dress with the smocking! I think I had a dress like that as a baby! I can't wait to see the finished doll. I love knitting toys.

    Did you finish Soul Survivor? What's the verdict on that one?

    Your photos are just right. The soft colors and clear glass make them so inviting! I like that magazine too. I haven't seen it in a while but I do really like it.
