This morning I finished my final Ravellenic Games project, Pixie. She will count as 8 separate entries (doll: Toy Toss/Holiday Hurdle; dress: Toy Toss/Colorwork Crosscountry/Holiday Hurdle; poncho: Toy Toss/Lace Longjump/Holiday Hurdle). I think entered her and her clothing in all 8 categories, plus posting it to my team’s page was more work than making her! Whew.
She will be Belle’s Christmas present, although my husband suggested that I might want to keep her to play with myself. True. I did sit in a nostalgic stupor gazing at her and stroking her hair and dress for a good while this morning. I think we never outgrow our love of beautiful dolls.
I simply cannot wait to knit a whole wardrobe for her!
Now I want to make something equally special for my son. Is there a boy version of a doll like this? If you know of anything, please comment and let me know!
One would think I would need to take a break from knitting for a while after the marathon stitchery of the past two weeks. One would be wrong. You see, it is an obsession. So I’ve just cast on a special project in chunky wool. It’s my own design for a shoulder shrug/cowl thingy and I’ll feature it with a giveaway in a few weeks.
In the meantime, enjoy my current giveaway for the Holy Grail of Project Bags.
She is absolutely adorable!
Wow how absolutely beautiful. You should enter her on our Made It challenge. Well done
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! amazing work!!! and obsession is right, I know exactly what you mean!!!
