The beginning!

I have always loved knitting clothes for dolls and teddy bears. I saved a lot of patterns from women's magazines like Woman's Weekly and Woman's Own. My mum loved toy patterns. I have a small collection of the original Sindy knitting patterns from the sixties.

About 5 years ago I started collecting dolls again when I discovered fashion dolls like Gene and Tyler Wentworth. I thought they were huge at 16" tall!! After all the only dolls I had handled were 12". They were a great size to knit for too!

Later I became interested in ball jointed dolls from Japan and Korea and I want to knit a lot for them. But I have got to learn to use smaller needles again and thinner wool.



This is the beginning........of a jumper for Blythe and of my knitting blog for dolls.
