Hi, and welcome!
This is the first post on the new blog, so I'm just going to share the wonderful news about the Ekokids on Kindle!
The book on your left is available now on Kindle. I think it comes out at $4 ish, with taxes and stuff. And if you join the Kindle library, you can borrow it for FREE! Well worth a look if you are a beginner knitter or you just want to make some fun toys for the kids. It's also available pretty much worlwide... Ekokids going global!
They cost so little to make, and are quick too. I can make a whole doll in one evening - with no distractions. Two evenings max!
The clothes can be made from oddments of yarn, and there are 10 patterns for clothes in this book, all of which you can make if you can do the basics:
cast on
cast off
knit stitches
purl stitches
knit 2 stitches together
purl 2 stitches together
Increase a stitch (by knitting into the front and the back of the stitch, creating 2 for the price of 1)
This pretty ball gown is adorable!
Other patterns for the dolls include:
Salopettes
Cropped T-shirt
Puffball skirt
Disco dress
Chunky jumper
These dolls have proved themselves in play value for many years and now you can join the fun! Create magical worlds for the children - big and small - that don't need batteries or chargers, and also don't max out the credit card.
Happy Knitting!
