'Miss Emily', a birthday gift for a special niece. Knitting pattern by Jean Greenhowe from her 'Traditional Favourites' booklet.I've enjoyed knitting dolly so much, I was rather sorry to finish her on Tuesday evening! Finished she is though and ready now for her birthday wrapping, in plenty of time for my little niece Emma's third birthday.
I will be seeing Emma (and big sister Charlie) on Saturday and I'm hoping her mummy will indulge Auntie Paula by allowing her to present 'Miss Emily' to Emma in person a little before her special day; this will be their last visit to Kent in 2008, and I'd love to see Emma's smile when she unwraps her new dolly!
Well, now that dolly is done and dusted, methinks I need a new knitting project!
Oh I love her! Bet Emma will do too! Takes me back to when my nieces were small and my sister knitted them Postman Pat, The Snowman etc.
ReplyDeleteI know who to come to if I get stuck with a knitting pattern abbreviation! ;)

She's wonderful! She will make a lovely present and I'm sure your niece will be thrilled - I would be and I'm quite a bit older!!! Another string to your already full bow! You are clever.
