and yet more....

It is just too wet and damp to take photos outside at the moment so having to make do with inside photos of the girls in their winter clothing.

Susan chose to wear this combination.  The sweater and hat was a lovely gift sent to me a couple of years ago made by Margaret.  The skirt I made a couple of years ago and the shoes are of course JJ Shoes.

Weaver has been seen in this before outside in the garden with Stevie but wanted some indoor photos taken as well.   I am not convinced by the tights but she thinks they look good so who am I to say otherwise...having no idea of young girls fashions nowadays.

The top is by Bev, the cardigan/jacket I knitted a couple of years ago, the skirt by Sashapotamus, tights from Michelle and boots by Lisa.

Stevie's skirt arrived last week and she has kept her purple sweater and hat on which were made by Gill I believe.  Boots by Lisa.

Lots of photos of her as I just really love this girl.

The three girls together.

A bit of a photo overload, but hey why not?

Some more winter wear.

Two more girls in some winter wear.

Mary Ellen in a skirt and sweater I made a couple of years ago.

Marcia in a sweater and hat that one of the girls was wearing when I bought her in 2011.

Teamed with a pair of jeans I made and a pair lovely JJ shoes.

Winter clothes and a new dress for sale.

I have added a new dress to my Sasha Clothing Sales Page.

Seen here being modelled by Ziva.

She then got changed back into the clothes she chose to wear during these colder days.

A ribbed sweater dress I knitted a couple of years ago with tights I made to go with it.

Tilly Rose is wearing a sweater I also knitted a couple of years ago teamed with a pleated skirt and similar tights to Ziva only a different shade.

Nancy has chosen to wear this lovely little dress - not sure who made it as it doesn't have a label.

All my dolls changed out of their Christmas clothes just before the New Year but I am only just starting to get a chance to take photos of them.

Valentines Day Swap

Valentine's Day is approaching and Sasha and Gregor are excited...will they get a Valentines Day surprise?   

This swap will be for a gift for Sasha or Gregor and a little extra something - a Valentine Card, a Valentine Sweet, whatever your imagination can come up with. (But only ONE extra please)

I am going to do this swap a little differently - to see how it works!  

This is a 'complete the swap and get a partner on the due date' swap.

Sign up by emailing me that you want to join in, get to work making a gift and then email me again to confirm your gift is ready by 30th January, please included your full name, address and email details.

If you forget to let me know, then you may not receive a partner.

I will update this page with the list of swap partners on 31st January as well as email you with your partners details.

Once you have received your gift, please email me a picture to include on the blog and post pictures in the Valentines Day Gift folder in the Yahoo Groups if you wish to.

Please also let me know if you have any allergies - some may not eat chocolate for example, which is a common little 'extra' for Valentines Day.

Please Note:  Send your item marked as a gift with a low value to those overseas please.

This information also has its own dedicated page with list of participants here.

'Joan' Cardigans finished

I have finished knitting the six cardigans I am donating to the Sasha Festival 2014 in memory of Joan Wilson.

I have made three for the girls:

Steel grey

Cranberry

Multi-coloured

Three for the boys:

Chocolate Nepp

Pebble

Denim Nepp

I also finished my KAL Duds for Dudes project which was to knit two matching cardigan/sweaters for the 'twins' Connor and James

I also used Joan's pattern to make these - it is one of my favourites and I have used it a lot in the past.

The colour is 'Gorse Nepp'

James and Connor look very smart in their matching outfits.

They are wearing their matching Jean Jensen boots that she made them last year

Second cardigan and lunch with friends.

Last night I finished my second 'Joan Cardigan' , this time in 'Cranberry'.

Cora is modelling it, and I must say the colour suits her very well.

It fits nicely over her long sleeve Christmas dress.

I can see she will be wanting me to make another in this colour so she can have one!

It also buttons up nicely over the dress.

Yesterday Henry was delighted to have a visitor come for lunch.

Milly proved to be great company and Henry really loves the hat she gave him.

Too soon the afternoon was over and she had to leave as it was a long drive home.

So nice to enjoy the good company of friends.

(Milly is Lottie's sister, who came to stay with Henry in November)

'Joan' Cardigan/Sweater

First up wishing everyone a Very Happy and Healthy New Year.

No awe inspiring post from me today.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sadly we heard the other day that another Sasha Friend lost her battle with Cancer.  

In her memory 'Joan' Cardigan/Sweaters are going to be knitted and donated to this years Sasha Festival. 

 Although I never met or corresponded with Joan I have used her wonderful clear and concise knitting patterns a lot and they are among my favourite, so it is a pleasure to be able to contribute to this auction in her memory.

I finished the first that I am making last night.

I used UK DK yarn and was really pleased with the way it knitted up.

Danni, says please excuse her modelling in her underwear!
