Progress on the seed stitch afghan (pictured above) is going pretty well. In my update a month ago, I had finished only three squares in a month. This past month I finished eleven more squares. But I'm putting it aside for now, and switching projects.
It's time for...
...Christmas gifts!
This is a doll for a little girl. Of course, there will have to be two made. The pattern is from the Nov/Dec 1982 issue of Needlecraft for Today. I've made several false starts on this pattern over the decades (!), and if I don't finish this time, I am going to call it quits and move on.
This is the photo from the magazine...
I wonder...if I do finish it...will it turn out looking like this? I'll keep you 'post'ed. :)

Knitting always impresses me. I can BARELY crochet and, while I love the rhythm of crocheting, I have never--not once--finished a project of it! But, handling two needles instead of just one?? That is just too, too intimidating! We'll be watching for the dolls! C
ReplyDeleteLove the doll and dog - but they look very complicated to knit! Good luck x
ReplyDeleteI really only knit easy things. The afghan will have crochet around each square and then they will be sewn together.
ReplyDeleteThe dog is not knit, and not in my plans. :) I expect the hardest part of the doll to be figuring out how to attach the hair. I'm a little intimidated by that.
