Hand Knitted Dolls

chatty123 · 11-01-2010, 04:57 PM

Well if anybody knows me you will know I am the wife of a gritting driver. and as you can imagine this last month he has been so so busy, and also with the torties fast asleep I have had a little too much time on my hands. So as I had been knitting little hats n scarves for the sock monkeys I developed a bit of knitting fetish. Well I got carried away. so here are the results.
if anybody is interested in them they are approx 9 in high and totally hand knitted with sewn eyes and mouth so no little loose parts . Just £7.20 each inc postage

These 2 are a little larger as they are approx 13 inch, but again totally hand knitted . they are one off as I wont be knitting anymore of them as they are a little too much time consuming
these are £16 for the pair or £20 with postage
