Yet again I have a load of pencil top dolls to make for a craft stall. I had hoped that what I did last time would be enough for two stalls but they all sold.

I am getting so tired of making them. When they're done I'm going to knit what I want to, no matter who asks. Evil or Very Mad

You can think of your next project as a reward for finishing them all. Wink

I found that the projects after the baby blankets were some of my quickest!!

Good for you Yvonne. I typically won't take on a project wanted by others as find I don't enjoy the project as much because it's something that I have to do.

Yvonne, I know you have some patterns, but when I saw this one, I thought of your project.

Well, all the pencil top dolls sold again and I was asked to do 3 more for a lady who has five granddaughters and only manage to get two.

Those are half done and I also finished the bolero/jacket that I was crocheting.

Then one lady won a Colinette kit for a shawl in the raffle and asked if I would make it up for our Christmas stall.

Only trouble is mohair irritates my chest but I'll put a face mask on and try it. I do like the pattern.

I have yarn and the odd shawl pattern or six in my queue. It's just getting to them.

And making my mind up which to do.
