I couldn't fit all of my knitting into one photograph (though I suppose the doll hair isn't properly *knitting* exactly). Right now I have three sets of needle occupied. Crazy, right? Starting on the top and going clockwise: Doll-in-the-round in Sawya, doll shorts in Blue Sky Alpaca organic cotton, doll-in-the-round in Spud and Chloe's sweater. I'm nearly done reading Twilight's Dawn by Anne Bishop. I still need to write a review of The Circle Cast for LibraryThing, though (and then I'm passing it on to a fellow blogger - if I ever get around to emailing her back *falls over*).
And the doll hair that wouldn't quit. Believe it or not, she has a bald spot and needs more bangs. I had to run to the yarn store yesterday because I ran out of her hair (210 yards and I need more?! There has to be a better way!). Lucky for me they had one hank left of this colorway. With luck I'll get her hair done today or tomorrow, give her a trim, and then focus on her clothes. Whew. And then she'll be off to the shop.
The dolls are so sweet! I had no idea it takes that much yarn for hair, it must take quite a bit of time to attach.
ReplyDeleteWow... I don't know if doll making is for me after reading this! Great work!
ReplyDeleteI am working on my first doll! I love the long hair on yours and think maybe that's what my dolly needs.
ReplyDeleteso cute! I need to get my daughters knitting that doll.
ReplyDeleteFabulous job on the doll's hair! I am amazed you needed more yarn :)
ReplyDeleteHer hair is amazing! Hair is always the most important part of a doll for a girl anyhow, right? Gotta have enough to play with and learn to braid!
