Babes and a Horse


Hi, I'm Maribeth!

I made all of these babes over the past summer and fall. Unfortunately, I have no new pictures of my most recent. The darkest one was my first. I did not name any of these, as some I did not want to become overly attached to because I gave them away for Christmas presents to some distant cousins. Soon I will take pictures of my newer dolls. They have been made using the pattern in the book Dream Toys, which if nobody has noticed, has a slightly shorter head because the increases are on both the purl and knit side. I also am in the process of making a Perdi Bird from the kit I received last Christmas. I know, I can't believe I haven't finished it yet! All of the clothes are done, and body pieces, I just must knit and sew the legs, arms, and face.


The horse in the Dream Toys book was quite a distraction, which is my excuse for not finishing the Perdi Bird doll. I made this horse to give to my step-cousin, and am in the process of finishing a white unicorn for myself.
