Catharsis

Well, maybe not quite catharsis, but I have finished off a couple of long-term WIPs.



First off was a baby hat I started for one of twins who are now three. Ahem. It will now go to a baby due in a couple of weeks. It looks complicated, but it's very easy to knit and the pattern is free. I've uploaded the photo to my Ravelry account - yes, Raverly... it's bliss... and has been a huge knitting inspiration for me recently.

And if you are hesistating about putting your name on the list for an invitation, you should know that mine came in just a couple of weeks.



The other project was one of Moot's Christmas present, a doll adapted from a Ragedy Ann pattern.

I tried to make the apron and dress less fussy, but I need to try again. I would like to make something like this outfit of Lyra's from the film of The Golden Compass. Loved the book, loathed the film, by the way, except for the knitwear and costumes. I have not wanted to walk out of a film before the end so badly since... Con Air? Yeah, it was bad.



It's the first doll I've ever made, and I made up the hair as I went along, with some old Rowan Magpie.

She's called Nancy, apparently, or so my mother-in-law says.



Why not.

Please excuse me, I have to make join Moot's dad and mock a Steven Segal movie on TV.
