Dollieh Sanctuary

Here is my Dark Grey Freya (still to be named) in a hand knit sweater I made for her and the first sewn dolly item I have had moderate success with I'm going to do a separate post in the creations section to talk more about the clothes, I just wanted to show off a little



I'm not sure this is her "final" outfit but I do like it quite a bit. I am hoping to do her face-up pretty soon, if it will just stop snowing!! It will be my first one so I'm a little nervous. I'm thinking she might be a little stripey. These also might not be her eyes. I ordered them by accident. I wanted her to have golden eyes like my cat Cookie Dough. These ones, however, are growing on me.

Her character is developing slowly but surely.

Very nice, she looks really happy!

What a cutie! I really like how the purple stripe on her shirt matches her skirt. The purple also goes well with her green eyes!

Thank you both She was a Christmas present from my Mom (never too old to have Mom by me dolliehs..)

The green was a mistake but I really do think they look nice on her

She looks adorable! Love her in the purple.

Thank you It is my favorite color so my dolls usually get stuck wearing it

She is so cute. How big is she?

Thank you. I think about 23cm?? Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

Great job on the sweater! I can't knit worth beans and wow, to make one so small is just amazing to me. Kudos!

Why thank you!! You are so sweet. I was knitting human sized things for a long time before I started knitting dolly stuffs. I admit that the small needles and yarn took a bit of getting used to, and require a little more experience, but I love it I alwyas have tiny needles on me. Knitting is about rhythm I think, once you find the rhythm you're good to go, you can knit the world.
