WOYWW - knitting marathon!

Good morning to all WOYWW buddies. I hope you are all well and getting all your jobs done ready for Christmas.
This week I have been knitting again.
I promised my great nieces some knitted dollies' clothes so delved into my massive wool bag for bits and bobs that would look good on the modern dolly!
This is the result....

 A hoodie and a little cardi for each of the three dollies.

My sewing room looks like this at the moment...

Still in need of more organisation but at least it has a useful space for a bit of communal sewing. Maxine came round this week and we had an entire hour together sewing whilst Ben had his afternoon nap. Bliss!

This is what I made for him to hang on my tree...

Well that's it for this week. I have a bit of Christmas baking to do today.
Have a great week.

  1. Your room is looking good and quite different to when I invaded you in the summer! I'm glad you and Maxine had some good sewing time together :-) that little owl is fabulous!!
    Do you have a certain pattern that you knit the dolly clothing from..I haven't found the right one on t'Interwebs yet and wondered if you could point me in the right direction!

  6. oh those cute little clothes are gorgeous, I haven't knitted for years and I'm not sure people appreciate hand knitted baby cardigans any more, or maybe they are in fashion again, who knows.

  9. A fun room with good lighting...always enjoyable. Love your little owl. And what fun with the little dollie clothes. I used to make Barbie clothes for my 3 nieces, don't know if I could do that tiny sewing anymore. Have a happy WOYWW day.
