I have been knitting. Just a couple more arms and legs, oh and a few curls and this mama will be good to go. The word on the street is that the recipient of this here doll has a thing for fairies and recently her room was redone in Tinkerbell so I think it's only fitting that the doll get a Tink dress too. I so lucked out, I didn't know about the Tink room until after I had received the yarn so it was a total coincidence that I had ordered a skein of green yarn too. I was planning on embroidering a few simple flowers along the bottom of this dress which is why I got the green skein. Like I said luck. I have an idea of how I'm going to do it so we'll see how it turns out. I'm waiting until the body of the doll is done before I start the dress though since Tink's dress is a bit on the short side and well frankly we don't want any of Sally's unmentionables showing, just pretend they aren't in the above pic.I am so behind on my knitting. This is the first time that I've ever had things to knit for people. I mean I've knit things and given them to others before but never knit things with the people knowing that they are getting them, so to speak. Another friend of mine asked for a hat to replace the one that accidentally went through the wash. A good reminder of why machine washable is a must for those with young ones. Actually I would've run it through the wash too just not the dryer, which she suspects her older daughter did. No problem though, I half expected it, or the twin that was given to my sleeping nephew to get destroyed long before it did so hey. So for those of you keeping count, that's one doll, one hat, and one other hat...Ok so I've kinda made it my personal mission to knit Corben a new winter hat each year. I mean he is after all the closest thing I have to a nephew on my side of the family. And how could I not, he loves my hats so...
This by the way is the hat that I have to replicate. So anyway back to the count, one doll (I'm so making myself one of these in the future), two hats, a wild stripes blanket, and a cow scarf. Now given the last two don't really have a deadline, well none of them do but I would like to get the doll out by the time the kid graduates and Corben's yearly winter hat would need to be done well by the end of winter, but I have made the decision to not start anything new until I have everything off the needles and I so want to start the February Lady sweater. Ok, ok I can start the striped scarf that I got the yarn for the other day but that's it, nothing new until the one doll, two hats, the wild stripes, cow scarf, and striped scarf are all complete. Oh and I also need to start...kidding.
