I’ve been just really slowly knitting away on a doll for a friend’s baby. She asked for a recreation of the one someone knitted her when she was a baby, which would be a lovely idea except it’s clearly some sort of creepy clown!
Some kind soul on Mastodon actually tracked down the original vintage pattern for me, and sure enough, creepy clown.
Anyway. I was supposed to still have a couple weeks at least to finish this, but plans have changed and she’s being induced on Monday(!). So it’s all systems go in every way, including gettting this weird doll done!
It will look less terrifying when it’s finished, I swear. But maybe only slightly.
What’s everyone else up to? Tell me we’re not the only ones who didn’t pack away the Halloween tablecloth yet? 😅
Great to hear about the doll again! I was thinking about it the other day (Is that creepy? Thinking about internet strangers’ knitting projects?). You’re doing great and it’s most probably doable until next week, depending on what else you have on your plate. And as long as the baby hasn’t watched certain horror films yet, the “creepiness” shouldn’t be a problem either :)
All the best for your friend!!
It’s definitely doable, honestly the thing is so tiny the only reason it’s taken this long is I had Halloween stuff to do first. This is also round two because the first pink I bought was too light (the pink is by request, it’s not a colour I generally own).
Slightly dreading the part where I have to make a face that doesn’t look like it’s staring into the very depth of the owner’s soul, but I’ll do my best!
