FO by Mina

Saturday, December 15, 2007

Mina (my 8.5 year old daughter) knit a doll size lace stole:

Mina's Doll Stole

Mina's Lace Doll Stole 1

a close up:

Mina's Lace Doll Stole 2

Color is most accurate in the first picture (with the stole on the Doll).

Pattern: Pair of Leaves with Garter Border
Yarn: Aran BFL from Casa Java Knits
Needles: Size 10.5 Susan Bates Circulars

She told me she wants to sell it! And that she wants to knit more doll handknits to sell. Because she wants to save up her money. To buy things like: a digital camera and a mp3 player. That’s my girl!

So, I’ll be listing it in my shop for her in the near future.

Needles: Sweater and Hat: Size 10.5 Bamboo Circs.�� Socks: I don’t remember.
