I have 8 GC, 4 boys and 4 girls, with a 22 year gap between the eldest and youngest. I enjoy knitting, but none of the parents like hand knitted children’s clothes. None of the girls have ever been interested in dolls. But now the littlest one who is nearly 4 has made my day. I made her a knitted doll with some clothes and it is her favourite toy when she visits. We recently chose together a dolls clothes patterns and I am eagerly waiting for the wool to arrive.
I was a bit surprised at the expense of the patterns and the wool, but I think I will get as much pleasure making them as she will playing with them.
