Baby Doll Knits by Lorraine

By
Once there was a little girl called Lila.
She had a cute little muffin doll from Germany.
She also had a very clever grandma, Lorraine.
Grandma Lorraine had some teeny knitting needles, fine pink yarn and a lovely vintage doll clothes knitting pattern.


 Grandma Lorraine then made a little bonnet for Lila's dolly.


Then she made a pretty matching pink dress.


And a cardigan for the cooler days.


She made some booties so dolly doesn't get cold feet.


With the 'left over' yarn, she made a snuggly blanket.


Little Lila is very happy with the pretty things that Grandma made her.
But now...


cousin Ruby would probably like a set for her dolly too!
And so Grandma Lorraine lived happily ever after making special things for her daughters and grandchildren.

These cute little Christmas stockings were made by Mandy. There was no real pattern to follow so we worked it out easily enough by sharing crochet know how and made little stocking decorations until they were everywhere. Wil and Bev G made a heap! Here are some pictures and a pattern! A pentagon granny square folded in half to make a little stocking. Make them in whatever colour you like! Add some sparkle :) or a bell on the toe! Put a few sweets, a roll of mints or a roll of cold hard cash inside, hang them on the Christmas tree and you will be popular. Click "read more" below for the pattern.

Mitred Granny Squares by Janice

A project a day! I have so many photos of lovely things which have not yet appeared here on the blog. So, I am featuring a new craft item every day for 2 weeks, all made by ladies at The Craft Group. To continue… Project 5: Mitred Granny Squares by Janice Crocheted Granny Squares are in again and, as with all come-backs, there are clever variations. These mitred* squares are eye catching and can look stunning depending on the colours used. Janice made this green one which has a lovely 3D effect made by her use of various tones of graduating greens. It looks stunning in a whole finished rug. (*also spelt 'Mitered', depending on where you live).  Janice is then working on some other squares using bright coloured stripes, giving the finished product a completely different look. Nice work Janice! If you are feeling inspired, I found a lovely tutorial on how to do this version of a Granny Square. Click HERE to go to the "Crochet Again" b

The school holidays are nearly over. Some kids have one more week. Why not get creative and make some pretty lanterns to hang in your bedroom? (Caitlin and Ryan... if you make one and take a photo, I'll put it on the blog!) A teacher at school made these with her grade 3 class.  I was the photographer, so I captured the pictorial step-by-step instructions.
