I finally broke down and baked biscuits. It takes about eleven minutes from assembling the ingredients to buttering one to eat. I don't know why it looms as a big task.
Bolted wheat, golden raisins. Buttered with Irish butter, blueberry jam. Chunk of cheddar, always good with sweet food.
And a bit more doll progress. Eyes and mouth embroidered.
Testing an old lady white hair look
Then moving on to dark hair
And a scrap of gown
She seems to like rockin this. Next to decide on and make her permanent hair.
Then, in case you ever run out of things to knit, here's one of the Queen's cottages (!) Knitted. Margaret Seaman at it again.
So there we are. Happy Monday everyone!
Yes, she looks good with the darker hair and diaphanous scarf!
ReplyDeleteYou really found the right style for that doll. She's indeed rocking it.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness... I didn't realize I was missing the creation of a doll. I've gone back and caught up, though. You've given her a beautiful face.
ReplyDeleteWorking on it.
Deletehow does anyone even figure out how to knit a cottage though I would not ever call that a 'cottage'!
ReplyDeleteCottage was a joke. It's Sandringham!
DeleteVery nice! What about lavender or aqua hair? I see more ladies dyeing their hair colors than before the pandemic, especially gray with a shock of another color.
ReplyDeleteThe knit cottages have a lot if charm.
That's an idea, thank you.
DeleteThat’s a great job on the doll’s face. That’s incredible knitting. I’ve never seen anything like it.
ReplyDeleteThe knitter is well known in the UK. This was a fund raiser for the NHS.
DeleteThanks for the nice words about the doll, too.
Your little friend is shaping up quite well. I like the darker hair but of course she will let you know what she likes! Have you discovered her name yet?
ReplyDeleteNo name. Not yet. That's not her final hair. I think.
DeleteThe little lady is intrestinger and interestinger.
ReplyDeleteIf you decided on white, be sure to add in a couple of colorful streaks, some leaves and twigs, and a butterfly or two!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! White was a passing thought because the fiber was lying right there.
DeleteShe already has a great personality - hair or no hair.
