Sunday Summary - The Last Two Weeks Knitting.

 I managed to do a little knitting while away and also some this week as well.


A Christmas sweater with beret.


Modelled by Susan.




An order - this is for a Schoenhut boy, but is also Sasha/Gregor size, knitted with my lovely NZ Merino, Alpaca and Possum wool as are the following three items.


Green sweater




Cardigan and beret





Some non-Sasha knitting:


I made this while I was away for this little 'Sindy' doll who bears no resemblance to the original Sindy!  She is about 7 inches tall.

Plus some knitting for my own dolls for Christmas.


Hearts for Hearts Shola is pleased with her Christmas dress.



My little Corolle Les Cheries Clara has a matching dress.


Chrissy finally has a Christmas dress of her own after modelling others and not being able to keep them.


Little Hazel, my hand carved wooden Bleuette also had a little dress knitted for her.


The four girls together.

I had hoped to get some sewing done this week, but it disappeared on me in the blink of an eye!

Sunday Summary - Knitting and Sewing over the last week.

The productive theme continues.


Emily is modelling a Christmas dress 


The back does up with three buttons.


A Christmas Jumper/Sweater modelled by Susan.


It sparkles in the sun!


Does up at the back with a half opening and three buttons.



Maddison says this dress is a keeper for sure!


It goes perfectly with her pink boots.  



Next up some sewing.... 


Emily models this fun Christmas dress - can't believe how fast this time of year is!


Sophia looks pretty in the blue snowman dress.


Maddison is modelling the Christmas Village dress - this is already sold.


Again she is modelling another dress (yes I know the pink boots don't go with the dress, but try telling Maddison that!)


Emily in green snowflakes.

Some non-Sasha knitting..



Matilda (who I think will become Tilly) is wearing a dress knitted for her just in time for Peggy Sue's birthday party.   She has been in a box for a whole year so was very pleased to be let out, although was rather tentative...

There is much excitement here at Rose Cottage as we approach December and the annual opening of the Advent Calendar...I wonder what it will be this year?!

Sunday Summary - Knitting & Sewing

 Another busy week knitting with a bit of sewing thrown in.




Rainbow cardigan.


Lovely soft yarn and a fun bright and cheery colour for winter.


I made this mini skirt


Which looks great with the rainbow cardigan.


I can see I will have to make another of these cardigans so Maddison can keep one for herself to go with the skirt.



I've made some new waistcoats and finished three that needed completing.

I have also got two pairs of trousers and four dresses almost finished,

Continuing on with the knitting



This purple dress is something a little different and I think it looks great.


Maddison just refuses to take off her pink boots!



This dress was knitted for an order and is now on its way to the lucky Sasha.


Another dress (photo taken in poor light!)




It also fits Peggy Sue (16-17 inch Schoenhut Miss Dolly)


A yellow dress for Peggy Sue


I knitted a cardigan to go with the dress as it is too cold at this time of year to just wear a sleeveless dress, but the bright and cheery colours will remind her of summer time.





This time a winter dress for Peggy Sue.  As I had sold the other apricot dress I promised her I would knit her another one and thought I would knit long sleeves.



I added a beret, and I think Peggy Sue is pretty pleased with it.

Most of the clothes I show on here are available to purchase either directly from me, on my Muriel Makes Facebook page, or in my Etsy shop
