A few days ago, Ola was listening on the radio about the approaching frost and snow. She was very happy that she will be able to go sledging this winter. I was sewing another doll so I told her that we could dress her up so she could go sledging too. A blue sweater, previously knitted, was waiting for the doll. I was going to sew her a down jacket, so I thought that adding warm shoes, a hat and gloves would be a nice whole.
The blue sweater is my first knitted doll garment. I thought I would do it in 2-3 hours. Nothing could be more wrong, I knitted it for 2 evenings. Such a little thing on 1.5 and 2.25 knitting needles does not grow too quickly. My assumption that I can knit something for each doll has been a little collapse. Of course, you can do it, but it take several times longer than for sewing clothes. On the other hand, such a sweater is certainly original and unique.
According to Ola’s request, all sewn clothes are removed. However, it is a great fun for a child when he can dress and undress the doll. Of course, the doll never went sledding with Ola. We were on the hill 3 times. Each time Ola insisted on taking the doll in her backpack and each time the joy of sliding down the snow was so great that my daughter forgot about the doll.
