Cassidy and Noah

I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving, and that your Christmas preparations are more joy than work :-)  I came down with a bug a few days after Thanksgiving, and it is only now beginning to loosen its grip on my health.   And of course, I ended up sharing it with my husband :-(  Thankfully, both of us are on the mend.

Something better to share is Cassidy, a doll I worked on, slowly, once I started feeling better.  She is based on Deena Thomson-Menards Lottie doll pattern, which is freely available on Ravelry.  Those wonderful hands are from a tutorial available on her Ravelry group We Make Dolls.   I modified the feet so they would feet those darling baby booties that Cassidy is wearing, which is also a free pattern on Ravelry: sneaker booties on Ravelry.

Alternate foot for Lottie

Romper Pattern for Lottie

Cassidy's puppy, Noah, is from a crochet pattern offered here a few years ago.  You can find it by scrolling down the left sidebar.  Look for the picture of the kitties and 'Links to my Animal Patterns'  :-)

Happy Holy Day season to all of you!!  Stay well.

    Oh Joyce, I think you would love knitting on dpns, after the initial frustrations with it :-) It drove me crazy at first, but now it is the only way I want to knit dolls; no seaming is just part of it; its more like creating something in crochet as you can see the form evolve.

    And thank you, dearest friend, for your wonderful words! Cassidy and I say 'thank thee kindly :-)"

    Warmly,

    Beth

    Seriously cute, Beth. Ha she does look like a selfie. I had to have the Lottie and Chloe patterns. You have a great site and oh my, you are so very generous! What sized dpneedles did you use? I must learn how to do the hands and I really enjoy dpns. Been awhile. Thank you so much, I'm really enjoying myself.

      Hi Linda,

      I think I worked Cassidy on either size 3 or 4 dpns. I use a much smaller needle than Deena recommends. The hands pattern is definitely worth your while to try; if you can make and icord, you can do these hands :-)

      Thank you for your good words!

      Warmly,

      Beth

      Thank you, Jeanette! Yes, her eyes are buttons, some from a stash of buttons I've had forever :-)

      warmly,

      Beth
