waldorf inspired boy doll

 hi and welcome to my soft toy share for today

meet Chester a 9" waldorf inspired fabric doll complete with blonde hair, knitted shorts and a longsleeved jumper.

i had made Chester's head a little while ago and i even managed to chrochet my first brushable mohair wig, but i 've found i can make a knitted one a lot easier for me (i'm not into crocheting i struggle).

     

in my haste to create Chester i had done lots of things wrong:

didn't add engough stuffing for his head and neck.

he originally was going to be a girl....

his body isn't the right proptions.

so i sat and thought about for a while, moved his mouth a little higher, managed to needle felt a small neck and thankfully put him all together.

he's by no means perfect (one arm is slightly longer than the other and i haven't created feet)

but he has a cheeky face and he's adorable 

all products used are natural, fabric, stuffing, wool, thread and features.

natural wool for his stuffing.

de witte - doll jersey for his body and face.

mohair wool for his hair.

west yorkshire 4ply for his shorts.

kingcole zig zag wool for his jumper

embriodary floss for his eyes and lips

bees wax crayon for his rosy cheeks.

height of doll is 9"

supplies for my doll are from:

Debbie at: Little oke dolls: https://www.waldorfdolls.co.uk

Sharon at: the knitter attic: https://www.theknittersattic.co.uk

On my my next doll i have mastered how to knit a wig cap (my own pattern yay).

join me again in a few weeks when i share my next doll.

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

meet miss raspberry ripple

hi everyone

sharing a new knitted doll to my stash

whom i've named: miss raspberry ripple (my fav ice cream)

miss raspberry ripple

originally the doll was a request: a pink doll (forgot they had mentioned which one) and without thinking off i went knitting needles clicking away merryily. it was only when i'd sewn her up i'd realised my mistake. so a quick message was sent: just remind me of your request and oops i'd knitted the wrong style doll. so in a few days (after my hands have recovered) i will make the doll as requested

    one similar to this one

back to miss raspberry ripple (lol). i have created a little knitted wig cap (a few trial and errors creating my own pattern) using large loop mohair which has turned out fabulous, added a little pink hair band, made a little dress which is removeable, and i have created her body with knitted white tights, pink boots and a candy stripped top.

here's a little photo shoot of miss ripple:

for my little cutie i have used jamiesons spindrift, west yorkshire spinners 4ply (various colours) and large loop mohair natural white. her eyes and lips are created using embroidary floss and her rosy cheeks are created using a bees wax crayon.
my supplies are from:
jamiesons
the knitters attic
little oke dolls.

 join me again soon.

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