KNIT ONE PURL ONE !


 So you may remember I decided to make up some goodie bags for this tenth and final Chat n Snap event that will take place in October.

Well having done a deal with my sister Michelle, to make me lots of  lovely cardigans for the dolls, I decided to make some hats to add to the bags. Michelle's been making me twelve at a time and sending them to me and I gave her a target of forty but gave myself a total of fifty. 

Now don't panic ! Bea at the top of the page is wearing a prototype I'm trying using a pattern for a larger doll, needs a tweak or three first ! 


I now have thirty six cardigans in a lovely range of colours.

Now we've seen all the ones made so far, I've picked another three shades of lilac, two blues and a peach.


Some of the hats I've made.

Now it is supposed to be one cardie and one hat. But of course that would be too easy. Now I have fifty hats , I find I cannot just put any old colour hat in with any old colour cardigan. 

So I've been seeing which hats go better with which cardigans.


starting to see which goes with which.

So there a couple of cardigans that I don't have hats to completement with at the moment and another six cardigans will arrive next month, so may need another couple. However I do have lots of hats already made and plans for more, plus plenty of wool to look through to hopefully find a few matches.

IT'S THE FIFTH SO DOLL PHOTO DAY

 Yes already month number two ! At least we are heading towards warmer ? weather somewhere in the not too distance future.

Let's get this party started . . .


Over in Gregoropolis. . . . Love is in the air. . . so sweet bonding over a ice cream sundae.


 


These little Kish dolls, belonging to Gill, are looking curious about what's going on.



Over at RoRoPo,  Julchen and Ruben are inspecting the flowers and dreaming of Spring! 


Here in the village only Angel and Bea were prepared to go outside for  a quick photo shoot, although 

they have informed me I need to spruce the area up a bit, if I'm not willing to go further down the garden!


From Michelle we have three of her boys looking nice and warm in their winter clothes.


Some of her Ruby Red dolls also looking lovely and cosy.


Thank you to everyone sending in a photo or two of their dolls. Still time to add one of yours, just send it in.
