    Default Knitted Dolls my mum makes

    My mum loves knitting and shes been making a mixture of dolls of recently.

    I thought id let you all see as I think some would be good for childminders to use in story sacks.

    In the picture there is a topsy turvy dooll which one side is little red riding hood and then the other side is granny.

    Shes also made mrs claus, princess, ballerina and the 3 little ones in the front are also topsy turvy dolls and all different colours underneath.

    If anybody is interested they vary in price, was thinking of basic dolls at £3.50, next size £5.00 and the big topsy turvy doll £7.50.

    The amount of work my mum puts into them I thnk thats a fair price and postage would be worked out and advised when weighed.

    If anyones interested let me know.

    I did think little red riding hood and grandma would be good for story stacks. There is also cinderalla in rags and then in a pretty dress.

    Ill see if my mum has a pattern for a snowman anne t and let you know.

    Shes in the process of knitting her next batch which will be policeman, nurse, life boat man, sailor, fireman, girlk guide, brownie etc which I thought would appeal to childminders.

    You've all made her very happy with the interest, she loves knitting and loves the fact they will be loved and played with.

    If anybody else interested in a particular one let me know.
