A doll called Sophie

A doll named Sophie

 I loved making this doll!

I made it for Ava when she was 1 1/2 years old.

She took one look at her, took off her headband

then tossed her aside. Lol!

A couple of months later she spotted her again

and held on to her as if she was 

her best friend.

You can find her pattern on Ravelry

 

Wip: a little bag for a little girl

I'm starting on my Christmas presents earlier this year.

This way when I change my mind a million and

a half times it won't actually be late December 

by the time I finish it.

I started off with a very simple but pretty bag for 

my 2 1/2 year old niece.

She is a girly girl and I never know what she

will like. Also her mum really isn't a fan

of handmade things.

So I picked something that doesn't take a long

time to make.

So far I'm loving this bag!

The pattern is for an adult so I shrunk it down by

using a 4.5mm hook and crocheted really tightly 

(hard on the hands).

You make the flowers first, joining them as you go.

Then you make the bottom part and

attach it to the flowers.

Then all you have left is to make the top.

Easy peasy!
