Doll Knitting : Method 2

Thank you so much everyone 
for the lovely response to the 
...'Little Yarn Dolls' Knitting Pattern...
it's been so very busy here and I've been 
preoccupied ever since putting together a second version 
of the pattern as requested which is worked on 2 knitting needles
~ ♥ ~
Little Yarn Dolls : Method 2

...is for those knitters who prefer to work 'back and forth'
then seam the pieces to create their doll
(the 'in the round' version is available here and here )

I'm very happy with how all the little dolls have turned out
and enjoyed creating both versions
Both look exactly the same when finished although made quite differently
and it's really just down to how you prefer to knit ;-)
There are lots of new photographs in this second version
...and detailed instructions for the neatest way to finish...

3mm Knitting Needles
Double Knitting Yarn
Easy to apply hair
Frilly dolly skirt is removable 
(and there's also the option of 2 different leg designs with Mary Jane shoes ;-) )

Now available on ETSY, Ravelry and here on the blog...
(more details in the listings)
For anyone who prefers to purchase on ETSY but would like to save the pattern 
to their Ravelry library just send me a quick message and I can send it to you x

I hope everyone who tries the patterns enjoys
their doll making x
♥
...and finally..

I've now started knitting my aran sweater 

which I spoke about some time ago...a long time ago(!)...
(I would understand completely if you don't remember!)

I'm hoping to take some photographs of my progress next the week 

(dark wool and equally dark days here at the moment mean I'm expecting it may not be an easy 

task but promise I'll do my best ... I'm really enjoying returning to aran knitting! ;-)

...until then...

P.S ...the little doll at the top of the post who is included in the new pattern
is called 'Blossom'....made in lovely silvery tones of blue, pink and brown x
