doll from the tearoom patterns

good morning crafters and welcome to my share for today:

a hand knitted doll using two of my patterns from:

Mary Jane's tearoom

meet molly (version 2)

on my doll today i have used 4ply wool for the doll and malabrigo sock wool for her dress and shoes.

Molly is 12" tall 

i have used large loop mohair wool for her hair

there are pros and cons on using this wool esspecailally on this doll.

although her hair is wild and adoreable as i intended i need to learn an alternative method due to the hair being attached in cut lengths (doll not suitable for a small child) the wool frays on the ends an awful lot. 

so for now this little cutie will stay with me.

here's what i have used:

patterns: mary jane's tearoom, dolls from the tearoom: Molly and dress from the tearooms

needles: 2 1/4 (uk)

wool: 

doll: super soft baby 4ply 100% acrylic and baby shimmer 4ply super soft 85% acrylic 15% viscose

both  by James c brett

dress & shoes: malabrigo sock yarn, superwash merino wool (the knitters attic)

hair: large loop dolly mo, blonde (little oke dolls)

features: black yarn, pink embriodary floss and rouge crayon for cheeks.

all it leaves me to say now is:

thanks for popping by, enjoy your day and craft happy, Ann. x

soft toy bunny

good afternoon crafters.

welcome to my soft toy share for today. 

a super cute bunny using two of my patterns from: mary jane's tearoom

my cute rabbit has been knitted using two types of wool wich will be listed shortly.

as always i have to say these patterns are easy to follow and i have even managed to add my own little diamond pattern to her dress.

for my project i have used:

pattern bunny: bo

DMC Natura just cotton in white & canelle (caramel)

needles: 2 3/4 mm (uk size)

pattern dress: tearoom dress

james c brett ARIA double knitting in white (shade z1)

just love the sparkles

needles: 3mm (uk size)

white button from my stash

stuffing:

100% high loft polyester filling (hobbycraft)

for this bunny i have substiuted my needle size and used slightly smaller needles as listed in the pattern so to keep my stitches closer together so the stuffing will be kept in place, the body has been knitted in mostly white (except her neck area has been knitted in caramel) and her panties i have knitted in garter stitch. For the ears i have knitted those in garter stitch and the shoes i have omitted the shoe bar. 

i have a little conumdrum crafters as this bunny could be gifted for a confirmation, a bride or a babies christening.

all it leaves me to say now:

a huge welcome to my new followers (i hope i can inspire you),

thanks for stopping by and looking and most of all

i hope you have all had a lovely easter.

enjoy the rest of your day and craft happy. Ann.
