Little Doll

This doll came about because I saw one on a blog that I now can't find and had a bit of an awwww moment. I was looking for something to hand stitch and a doll seemed like a perfect solution.

I all started off very well, I did the body, 

hair and face all in one sitting. And then I stopped! And it sat for about three weeks before I made this little dress. 

The face is the part I'm most proud off, I love all of those intricate stitches and I dont think I made her look too creepy. 

The hair however is a massive fail, I should not have chosen that colour red, its just far too gimiky and reminds me of "chucky" 

The body of the doll is adapted from my bunny rabbit pattern but I lengthened the legs and the arms.

so yeah its okay and it gave me something to do, but I'm in no way in love with it, I might make a second version but I'll use a less bright hair colour !

and make more clothes! [I had intended for this one to have a whole wardrobe but I lost interest!]

Much Love

Remember when....

Do you remember a few months ago when I hinted that I was doing some very special super secret projects? 

Well here's one of them! I'd like to introduce you to Mr and Mrs Cat! 

Aren't they sweet? I was asked to do these as a custom order , for an actual couple who were getting married! The grooms mum had seen my owls and requested some cats!! 

And do you want to know the very best thing about cats? They have tails so you can do this!!! 

I attached press studs to the backs of their heads an tails so they can be entwined! Or 

 

Apart! (Everybody needs a little space you know!!!) 

Bride kitty features a full net skirt, sash, jewelled choker and veil and tiara! 

And mr kitty features a top hat, bow tie , one of those weird shirt thingys and a little button hole! 

I've got to say I love doing things like this! Where I can just try and make thingsas sickeningly sweet as possible! 

Now I do have plans to make another cat bride and groom set to pop into my etsy shop, but if you can't wait Mr and Mrs Owl are still available here https://www.etsy.com/listing/192446440/pair-of-knitted-wedding-bride-and-groom

 Or if you specifically want cats (or another animal!!) don't hesitate to ask!!! By the way I also do bride and bride and groom and groom. Here at knitwits owls we believe love is love no matter what's happening downstairs! 

Much love!
