I'm loving making these shawls!

Shawls are SO much fun!
Recently I was gifted some sock yarn, and enjoyed making it into a shawl. 

The result was gorgeous! 
You be the judge! ☺

Another first

Having never made a doll, I was not really sure how it would go. 
I changed my ideas as I went, and she developed into a special little girl ☺

I can see that one could change lots of details and create a very different doll
which could be lots of fun!

This was not a complicated pattern, and I enjoyed the process (as I do most times) 
of transforming a few balls of yarn, into something very huggable! ☺

I can also make boy dolls - they could be made into varied types of boys too! 
The possibilities really are endless!


I named this little girl Magnolia - something about her colours seemed to suggest that.
She is very special too, because you may notice, she has no mouth!
I think that could be very useful in a little friend...
Someone to tell secrets to - and they never go anywhere! ☺

Next time I make a little girl, she will definitely have a longer fringe (bangs). 
But that is what is fun! 
Each time I can change something and create a very different doll!

Positively pink!



Well, my lovely blog friends, it’s another Monday. Which means that there’s another week of knitting ahead. What should I knit next? Any ideas? Leave me a comment if you’ve got something in mind that you’d like to see.

Here’s another customer request. A colourpillar please! Make it bright!
Ten body segments... And so I went to work. 




I hadn't done a colourpillar like this before, but I think having the head and feet the same colour looked great! It would make a lovely butterfly, wouldn’t it? Hmmmm... there’s a thought... 
Anyway, it’s already been sent off to its new home, but if you know someone who needs a cuddly, squishy colourpiller to keep them company, let me know! I can do other colour schemes if you like. In case you don’t think I own enough yarn for that...  
And trust me, that’s not all there is! So the possibilities are endless!

Well, I’ll sign off now. Stay tuned for my next post in which you’ll be meeting a young lady named Magnolia. I’m SO excited about her, and I want to know what you think of her. 


Have a happy week, friends!
