I have renewed my interest in knitting...
I learned some basics about 40 or 50 (!) yrs ago...
I had not done anything since then...
My BFF was my inspiration
when I saw the beautiful sweater
that she is in the process of making!
Here is a link to her blog and that post...
I realize that I will never be as good
as she is at knitting,
but I am enjoying the learning process,
and trying some new
and challenging projects.
These clothes are for my dolls that I collect.
They are small items
and go pretty fast when making them.
I like that.
I have other interests and need to divide my time
so that I can work on all of them.
I am so happy to be retired
so that I can do all these wonderful things...

| Here is a little hat. It will have a pompom on top when I decide on an outfit and the color to go with it. |
 |
| I practiced this by making a swatch. |
 |
| So I made it into a bag for one of the dolls. |
 |
| I made this for the handle of the bag, but it was too wide so I made it into a scarf... |
 |
| This was a real challenge for me... |
 |
| This is the back... I'm not sure the skirt is right, but I think it looks OK. |
 |
| I need more practice using double pointed needles... The instructions said to give a tug when switching needles. I did that, but I guess it was not hard enough. haha More practice needed on that part! Never did that before... |

I have been referring to YouTube a lot!
It has helped me tremendously!
So, everyone have a lovely day!
'Til next time, Love ya, Jean
