I have a pattern for some darling clothespin dolls, and now yours! I am so happy! When I get tired of making doll clothes for my Madame Alexander dolls I will try making a Hitty doll!<br /><br />- Momma CatMomma Cat https://www.blogger.com/profile/09994734996246559246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647790914647612650.post-62227968055899764842016-07-10T17:28:41.904-04:002016-07-10T17:28:41.904-04:00Gracias, Isabel :-)

Thank you for welcoming my Clothespeg Hi...H Jenni,<br /><br />Thank you for welcoming my Clothespeg Hitty so warmly :-) I love making dolls, and this doll was definitely accessible to my limited wood working skills. When I have the pattern finished, I will publish her crochet undies. And I will probably make her some knitwear too, but knitting does not come as naturally to me as crochet.<br /><br />You should try Gail's Hitty; the instructions are impeccable, as are all of Gail's patterns and kits. She is a nice size and would play well with your sweet Raikes girls. I'm sorry I never took the opportunity to get a Raikes when he was still making them...they are as much a Hitty as any other variation of this sweet little doll.<br /><br />warmly,<br /><br />BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15174223079054928870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647790914647612650.post-85342295350562664762016-07-10T17:20:12.153-04:002016-07-10T17:20:12.153-04:00Dear Rux,

New carvers and makers in other media are welcomed, no matter their skill level.<br />My first two were made by Robert Raikes and declared by a somewhat grumpy old lady to be 'not real Hiity dolls.' She was one of only two exceptions to the all-embracing 'Hittiers'I've met in many years. The two Raikes girls now rejoice in the names of Mary and Roberta Not-Quite-Hitty. I don't think the lady meant anything mean by her comment really, she was just a little over-protective of the original Hitty and felt mine were not too like her. But then nether are Gail's - they are (sh!) far prettier than their ancestor! <br />We love my N-Q-Hitty girls so much that my mother and I spent a small fortune on a large dolls' house for them to live in and I would like more of Mr. Raikes girls. <br />Thank you so much for sharing Becky's design for Clothespeg Hitty. In my view she is a real Hitty - she is made of wood and is the right size. not only that, she is manageable to make for most of us. I have planned a Gail W Hitty for ages, but worry about the detailed work involved, so have used Gail's Hitty patterns to make clothes for the girls(she's a lovely, helpful lady!)but not made up a GW Hitty....yet!<br /><br />Will you be creating knitwear for Penny? Off to grab a clothes peg and make.....well, it's obvious really, isn't it? My new girl will be called Peggy. Would love clothing for her too.<br /> Jenni xjenannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00321001863688006661noreply@blogger.com
