Prayer shawls and hats turned in this week.

What a great batch of shawls and hats! You have been really busy and made so many things this week.

One of the wonders of the doll donation project is holiday outfits don't have to be finished for this year's holiday as they are going out in this Christmas donation's box so a late entry to a pre-Christmas holiday not a deal breaker. 

Rag Doll A Dress for February

Cute rag doll and the dress is adorable on her!

Skipper Bathing Suit

Almost Feb vacation so I'm thinking warm weather and swimming despite staying home and cold.

[Bailey4]

Adoring Dolls has some very affordable 18 and 14" doll patterns that I've been collecting over the years.

This was one of my Christmas presents that I finished for the donation.

My Life Robbie Lynn Spring Dress

I am doing her Valentine dress this month, 3 of the outfits for Christmas gifts this year.  Her patterns are so easy to follow!

Barbie Simple Outfit

The words Barbie and simple always draw me into a pattern.  This one required a little adaptation as I was using a different version of Barbie but still another outfit to send off.

Wow you guys are moving along.  I am trying to knit a winter sweater and hat and coat for 18" doll.  It was a kit I bought and I am ready to toss it out the window.  They have v neck in the front and back of the sweater.  I called, but they said that was right?  I know it is going to drive me nuts.

Just a reminder that the Wish List is now open.  Come and join us.  Even if you only want snail mail or as simple as a pot holder.

I hate the directions that some how make sense in the mind of the designer but are about as understandable as directions written in a foreign language backwards.

Rag Doll Swim Suit

Another winter storm due in and I'm pushing my way through the swim suits for the dolls.

Time for Ken to join the swim party

Ken's trunks and all the doll outfits are great. You have been so productive.

[Bailey4]

Still getting the accessories done across the doll spectrum.

Bailey, I really do think that you have figured out how to get through a day without sleep. You’ve finished so many cute projects! 

[Tampa Doll]

Finished my special project it is posted in Give-A-Way thread.  Come check it out and have some fun later.😁

My Life Shamrock

This is one of Adoring Doll's holiday outfits.  I can't resist the holiday spirit when it comes to making donation stuff.

[YarnyBoy]

I'm working with a group of folks to donate to a family services charity in April, and I am getting a head start.

This cowl is so plush and the stitch pattern is very pretty. It's actually the Braindead Afghan pattern.

[bgs]

Turned these in yesterday.  Last time dh dropped them off (we drop off by garage door) lady was coming out and told him the shelter really appreciated getting these.  I have been looming them on my Knifty Knitter hat loom using two strands worsted weight yarn that came from culling out odds and ends from prayer shawl room.  Last thing I needed to do was bring yarn home but there's just that part of me that hates to see it sent to thrift store or trashed when I know I can make hats for the shelter.

A bright and cheery cowl! Someone is going to just love receiving this.

Such a great batch of hats! I love all the colors and how you matched them together.

Glitter Girl Hannah Carrot

I've been slowly acquiring more patterns for this doll.  Not sure I've ever found any specifically for this doll but thankfully there are other dolls of a similiar type that people seem to make crochet patterns that fit the Glitter Girl doll.

[Bailey4]

I've been acquiring patterns for the 18" boy doll as parts of sets for several years and I'd hoped to pick up a My Life Boy Doll at some point to try out for the donation but I could never get one before they disappeared.  This year I found an Our Generation one on sale and got one for the donation and one as a model.

First up his entry into the swim suit project.

Our Generation Boy Swim Suit

[Tampa Doll]

Love the carrot outfit and the boy doll.

[Bailey4]

Our Generation Sleeping Bag

This is the "loudest" one to date using up some striped Red Heart yarn.

[babypoohsmom]

Wow, I don’t know why I am still shocked when I see all of the amazing, fun work here. As for me, I got bit by a feral cat on 2/20 (my fault, he was injured and trapped and I was all “hey sweetie”). Anyway wound up in the hospital the next day getting an IV antibiotic and then 10 days of horse pills that tore my stomach up. Got better then got upper respiratory crud. Due to bad tests and my inability to think straight, I thought it was Covid. Still feeling icky so I have not done much crocheting or sewing. But I have been spying on you all and love everything. 
Brenda, I love that you “rescue” yarn for hats. I like funky color combinations. Sometimes is surprising what looks good together. I never got the groove of the loom hats, but my mom really liked making them.  I somehow have 2 sets of round looms. I guess if it is yarn-related, I’ll buy it and try it. 
Thanks for all of the shares. Hopefully I’ll have something soon.
