Knitting Round up for Friday

I haven't knitted a lot this week - I have had to 'frog' (undo) a couple of projects when I realised I just didn't have enough wool to complete them, so a bit of wasted time!

One item I am really pleased with is a little yellow 'Party Time' dress for Sasha knitted from a Golden Hands pattern I have been meaning to knit for a while.  I just wish I'd had enough of the yellow to knit the little yellow matching coat.  I will knit this pattern again though so will make sure I have enough for both items next time.  Plus I will be able to improve on it next time as well.

Sally was pleased to get to model the dress and she found the perfect matching shoes in the shoe drawer as well.

I took a few more photos this morning as a new lens for my camera arrived and I wanted to experiment with it.

Sally is my wide faced 1972 Trendon Sasha I bought from Ted Menton back in 2011 I think it was.

During the week I also knitted a tank top for Gregor, but I decided it was a bit too 'pink' for the boys so at the moment Peggy Sue is wearing it as she said she was cold and wanted to put something over her dress.

I think this would look quite nice on one of the brunettes - I just need to work out what would go with it!

I did some 'tiny' knitting and made a little cardigan for Xanthe Phylica

As well as a little cardigan for Wren, which looks good with her denim dress.

Snow Day....Let's Play!

A little group of friends today looked out into the garden in awe.

Snow!  Just what Henry had been waiting for.

Peggy Sue joined Henry in the garden as the other girls and boys just claimed it was TOO COLD for them to want to bother - I think they just wanted to stay in bed!

Henry and Peggy Sue discuss whether there is enough snow to build a snowman yet....Henry doesn't think so.

It isn't long before Wren and Hitty Madge join them.   They started out at the same time, but little feet take longer to get where they were going.

Wren suggests they could throw snowballs.

Henry points out that it would probably not be a fair game...after all they are snow much bigger than both Wren and Hitty Madge, and as such their snowballs would be bigger as well.

Hitty Madge is secretly relieved....really playing snowballs at her age, is just not quite what she had in mind when venturing outside in the snow....although she would quite happily have helped build a snowman!

Soon they decide it is time to venture in again for a cup of hot chocolate (or milo!)

It seems a core group of my dolls want to interact together....sometimes I wonder if it would be easier to incorporate my blogs into one...that was what I originally intended, but then felt I should separate them for various reasons, but now I am not so sure.
