2019's last knitted doll

good morning and welcome to my knitted share for today

the last doll i made in 2019.

a 9" ponytailed doll with a cute little blue pinafore, matching coloured shoes, white socks and white top and a pale blue satin ribbon for her hair. 

my doll:

 

for this little cutie i have used various wools from:

Jamiesons of shetland, West Yorkshire Spinners and Debbie Bliss

her features are created using:

black and pink embroidary floss and a bee's wax crayon for her cheeks.

for her hair i have split my wool to create finer hair and it has been attached using a chrocet hook and secured with a few stitches here and there.

over the next few weeks i have planned to clear, de-clutter and reorganise my craft room and continue with a couple of projects i have on the go that will be shared later in the year.

i love weddings.

thanks for stopping by and looking

enjoy your day and craft happy. Ann. x
