Ladies and gentleman- dolls and knitting
After hours of considering work and stuff of equal boredom (I have an interview on monday and a presentation to work on), I decided to give myself a break and FINALLY put some pictures up that have been sitting in my camera for a while. You see, I have been busy. And it means I can't do things that give me pleasure, like playing with my girls and knitting.
On the other hand, I have also been busy doing things I DO like, such as wandering the Cornish countryside with Glittr...
But I have some introducing to do.
I have a new girl! She's been with me for a while and hasn't been debutanted (is that a word?!). This is Greer and we haven't yet established her last name, as she doesn't speak english. She smokes a lot and has a penchant for pickled herring. I think she is Swedish, but I'm not entirely sure. I haven't managed to get her to sign on the dotted line to join the band of Knitted Terrorists, but I think she has it in her... in fact, I have a feeling the girls already know who she is, as I saw her handing a brown paper package to Leon when she first arrived.
Secondly, we have Reenie in an outfit specially designed for her by the incomparable Heylittlegirl, as won as second prize for a raffle. She is just so... orange. And it suits her so well. Butter wouldn't melt. She'd still stab you though, if you gave her the chance. I wouldn't trust her an inch.
I also have some begging for forgiveness to do to my Secret Pal from last year, Lisa- she made me some perfect knitted outfits for the girls and it has literally taken me this long to photo. They have been wearing them however.. Franke won't take off the green knitted bodice shown here. It suits her, no?
Leon is modelling one of Yokokonda's cute as a button belted dresses too. Very Austin Powers, I think.
And finally, Mattie in a quite hysterical poncho from Lisa. Hysterical because I still can't believe she knitted such a thing. I want one myself! It is beautiful. Thank you, Lisa. You are talented, even at such a small scale.
There are still other knitted items to photo too...a mini shawl and a skirt. But unfortunately Mike's Mila was just a little too shiny in the photo for me to be happy in showing it. I need to re-take. V-Smashes are lovely, but I wish I had some Mr Super Clear Matt on me. She calls out to be matt, but with freckles intact.

Greer is GORGEOUS! Love her hair.
And thank you so much for posting the picture of Mattie in her poncho! You are right, it does quite suit her, especially with those jeans! It's the Yarn Harlot's poncho in Opal sock yarn -- leftovers sent with socks knitted for me in a sock exchange a while back. It's a really easy knit. I would never knit such a thing in adult size, for me or for any secret pal (ponchos are SO over!! :P ), but it was cute on my little nieces and I thought it'd be cute on the girls too. I'm glad I got the proportions right -- working from measurements but without an actual model, it's hard to tell sometimes.
