Yarn Along – Knitting for the (Doll-)Family

Those are Herr Huber, Ronja and Fritz.

I promised to show a bit more of our newest family members. Our Waldorf inspired Dolls that came to life during our wonderful and inspiring Sew Along.

For that matter, I ment to take some pictures outside but today is one of those disagreeable autumn days (windy, rainy and cold) so the dolls wanted to stay inside rather, cuddling up and spending the day on the sofa. Aren't they lucky?

And it quite suits me too. That way I can work on some accessories for the cold season. For them, as well as for their doll parents.

So far, I knit a hat for Mr. Huber (which stays on), gloves and a scarf. A hat for Fritz, it's a big larger to cover his full hair. And Ronja needed cardigan. I altered a little Kina to fit a Waldorf Doll, making it a bit slimmer but longer. (My ravelry notes here)

Now she needs a hat as well and it's going on the needles next. I am enjoying those tiny knits, the children appreciate them as well and besides it's a great way to get rid of some of the extra yarn, isn't it.

Just picked up this book: Elisabeth by Claire A. Nivola. The narrator, remembering her girlhood in Germany, has to leave her doll Elisabeth behind when she and her family have to flee during the world war. Decades later, she recovers the doll in the U.S. Simply written and so touching.

Maria hat das Buch einmal vorgestellt, seitdem war ich neugierig darauf und hab es grad aus der Buchhandlung geholt: Elisabeth von Claire Nivola, erschienen im Verlag Freies Geistesleben, ist die berührende Geschichte von einem Mädchen, dass im Zuge ihrer Flucht im zweiten Weltkrieg ihre Puppe zurücklassen muss. Die Kinder sollen es zu einem der Feiertage bekommen. Gerade hat unsere Tochter ganz viele Fragen über dieses Thema auf dem Herzen.

Und Ihr ward auch neugierig? Auf unsere drei Puppenkinder?
Auf Ronja, Fritz und Herrn Huber?

Frühling, Sommer und Herbst.

Jetzt brauchen sie aber alle ein paar wärmere Sachen und die Mama, naja, in dem Fall bin ich ja quasi schon Oma (!) strickt fleissig. Grad recht an so einem unfreundlichen Herbsttag wie heute. (Deshalb haben die drei jetzt auch noch rote Bäckchen bekommen…)

Ich wünsche Euch einen kuschligen Herbsttag!

Oh, Ginny gave birth to a little boy yesterday, so unless she prepared her post in advance there will be no Yarn Along over there. Never mind! And all the best to Ginny and her family!
