I have been knitting a little woolen doll and plan to knit more and make the pattern available soon. It is so simple!
I also have been making some little Valentine Gnomes by adding a hand stitched heart on their chests.
So glad to have found this gem of a book on one of our shelves. The previous owner of our home left many books behind and this was one of them - Minister's Wooing by Harriet Beecher Stowe. The language is delightful and holding the antique book in my hands as I read just feels so good.
Looking forward to catching up with everyone at today's Yarn Along at Small Things.
Warm wishes,
Tonya
So pretty! I would love to have a doll like that just for me. And I love old books and the way they smell. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI read regularly, but don't comment very often. This one, however, got me. That little doll is absolutely precious. I am definitely in love with that one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing

ReplyDeleteOh that is beyond cute!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute doll! Looking forward to the pattern!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
They are both so adorable. I love that little tuft of hair!!
ReplyDeleteThat book cover looks exquisite, does it still have the page with the date of publication?
ok, i love that wee gnome with the heart. what a great idea for valentine's day. i think i have a gift idea now for all of my children. :) and your doll, so sweet. <3
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet little doll,and the book is wonderful...I know what you mean about holding an old book in your hands...its a soothing feeling for me :) Blessings friend
ReplyDeleteTonya...I just love this dolly!!! I have made your gnomes for all three of my littles a long while back (it seems) and poor littlest fella didn't get as much of the handmade love as I would have liked this Christmas. Methinks I'll be waiting as patiently as I can for this pattern :)

What a cute doll pattern!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful doll. I'd love to see the pattern!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet doll! Definitely a pattern I would love :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to knit this CUTE doll.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a sweet doll. Will you be selling any in your store? I have a baby boy due in a few weeks and would love to knit one for him, but honestly, between a three year old with an ongoing stomach bug and trying to get the house and baby things ready with a dwindling energy supply, I just am not finding much time to knit. If you will be making any of those to sell, let me know, I will be your first customer :) by the way, tell your daughter we are really enjoying the beautiful paper stained glass circles she made. They brighten up the gray winter days and they are so beautiful. She did a great job!
ReplyDeleteI think your house is perfect based solely on the fact that there were such books left in it. What a treasure! And your little dolls are adorable. So sweet!
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone, they are lovely and will make great gifts! Look forward to the pattern posting.
ReplyDeleteNow that is precious, my daughter would love it if I would knit something like this up for her!
ReplyDeleteHow darling! Maybe someday I'll be skilled enough to knit a doll like that!
ReplyDeleteAdorable :) Looks cuddly
ReplyDeleteLove that doll - so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThat doll is awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove your doll, so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have the pattern when you get time to share it. It would be perfect for my godson's little daughter. Happy New Year to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteThis looks adorable!!! And the little one- sooo lovely! I'm really looking forward to see more and try it myself if you share the pattern!
ReplyDeleteThe doll is lovely - the soft brown and blue pair perfectly. Thanks for sharing the little gnome pattern. I am looking forward to making some for a friend's daughter's upcoming birthday. Blessings on your weekend!
ReplyDeleteoh such a sweet doll, i love it so much. and the book, it looks like a treasure, i love vintage books too, what a lovely find.
ReplyDeleteSuch a treasure old books are! And such cuteness in your knitting, too. If only I could think ahead like that and work up some of those cute gnomes for Valentine's like you are...what a great idea. Blessings! Lisa
