Finished!

I've finished my first Annette Hefford doll. Hooray!!! I have to find a name for her and I think Sarah suits, so this is Sarah!


My first ever knitted project finished- not as originally planned, but then that is the way I do things, they go in the direction that feels right.


So instead of a long skirt I had planned, the underpants have become shorts which I combined with a jumper that is a variation of the witches jumper pattern from the book (Knitted Pirates, Princesses, Witches, Wizards and Fairies). I also made a tie belt and shoes to match. 

I've learnt a lot making this doll and feel pleased with the result- that's not to say it's perfect and I suppose that's why I want to move on to a new doll which I will be able to do better now I know some of the basics of knitting.


I read some of the reviews of Annette's book the other day and whilst everyone has given it 5 stars (as I did), one said it was for intermediate and advanced knitters and not for beginners- well I proved that wrong!  I believe that you can do anything you put your mind to; though I also think that the more you practice something, the better you get.


I'm pretty sure in the future I may make more clothes for Sarah but now I'm planning the next doll, which will also be from Annette Heffords wonderful book.










So until next time
