...Yarn Along


Today I'm joining Ginny for another lovely "yarn along."
I have just finished a cardigan and bonnet for the little Waldorf doll I made Matilda a couple of weeks ago.
The cardigan pattern is from Waldorf Mama and can be found here. It is quick and easy to knit up and perfect for 14 to 16 inch dolls.
The bonnet is my own recipe :) I'm happy how it turned out!
Now Poppy and her sister Bluebell have a matching set for those chilly winter days out with their little girlfriends :)
And what is the perfect "yarn" for two little dolly's? Why "Plum Tree Cottage" of course.
The girls love this story so much, I know every word of it by heart now!
Plum Tree Cottage is a sweet story about a little doll named Peggy who is trying to find herself her own little home. I recommend it highly for any little girls and dolls alike :)

    Lovely! I need to learn to make dollies--my little girl is so attached to the bought one, I know she would appreciate another!

    Beautiful work!

    Oh the cardigan and bonnet are fabulous. I used the cardigan pattern for my little one's doll last year. I would love to make a matching bonnet. Any chance you'll share you pattern.

    Your dolls are beautiful. I can only imagine making one myself.

    The book sounds lovely. I will have to see if I can get it through our inter-library loan.

    Blessings, Elizabeth

    I can't believe you knit that! How sweet! Wow, really incredible. Your little girl is so lucky to have a crafty mama like you.

    I marked the book down on my list to read. The illustrations look so cozy.
