knitting - dolly

 

Using Jess Hutchison pattern from Unusual Toys for you to Knit and Enjoy (Ravelry link)

I bought this book years ago (more than 4, less than 6) but couldn't knit anything from it as I didn't know how to use double pointed needles, or indeed how to properly increase or decrease.... or that I was a very loose knitter and I should really use much smaller needles than indicated in patterns...

I am very pleased that I now know these things!

She's quite tiny - less than 15cm.

knitting - fancies

more fancies from Jean Greenhowe Tea Party Treats pattern

knitting - doughnuts

 

yet more doughnuts using this pattern from CakesKnitsandCosies on Etsy.

Just read this post at Ginger Knits. 

Further investigation is needed.  I LOVE ginger beer!!!
