A Tale of Two

After making the Cinderella characters, I was asked by my aunt if I could make an elephant and a giraffe for a friend. Of course my answer was yes, and the hunt for a suitable giraffe pattern began. I searched on Pinterest and found this one. It knits up very well, but there's a bit …

Salagadoola mechicka boola bibbidi-bobbidi-boo! Put yarn together and what have you got? The Fairy Godmother! This is the last doll in the Cinderella & Friends collection from Esther Joy Knits. I'm so excited to be knitting her up in some of my favorite cotton yarn! And in such lovely colors. 🙂 (This post is a …

The Royal Family

Here they are, all knit up and ready for the ball. We have Maid Cinderella, Princess Cinderella, Prince Charming, and Fairy Godmother. Each one was such fun to knit, and I can't wait to make a few more of them! All done! It was fun to watch each doll come together. I hope some little …

Prince Charming – On the Needles

After a quick run to Hobby Lobby, I have all the colors I need to properly knit up a Prince Eric. And soon - Cinderella is waiting! Don't you think knitted stripes are so pretty? There's just something about them, they are so neat and clean and tidy. Okay, so I did figure out how …

I finished the Cinderella test doll that was in progress, what do you think? I really like the curls. Once she was complete, I decided to …

Leg Day!

So... I made the right leg. Thought something was amiss when I went from the bottom of the foot to the upper part of the foot. Shouldn't my next row be a purl row..? I worked a purl row anyway, so I could continue with the pattern "correctly". Once I finished with the left leg, …

Ears – The Better to Hear You With…

Each of the Fox's ears are made up of 2 pieces - one outer piece, one inner piece. With the outer pieces (the beginnings of one pictured above), I was finally able to use Color C! Each outer ear piece begins at the base of the ear with light grey. Then using the Intarsia method, …

Practice & Progress

Hello friends! I hope this Tuesday finds you all doing well, being creative and productive, and enjoying it all! 🙂 Work on Fox has come to a standstill... I went to visit a friend of mine in the mountains for a couple days, then had to go back to work, and then I started back …
