Knot By Gran’ma

I’d love to say that I’ve been missing in action from my little chink of cyber space because I’ve been really busy creating new dolls and creatures. Unfortunately I can’t say that, because I haven’t. I have been working on a wholesale chapstick holder order and now am in the midst of a [...]

These are two of the tops that I have been working on.  Don’t mind the pins… they’ll all be sewn in one sitting, because I really don’t like hand stitching.  This is odd because I have tons of it to do on each doll I make.  Go figure.  The other tops are still being assembled.  [...]

Just popping in to give this quickie of an update. The new set of girls is coming along nicely. They’re all sewn together, so they look human, and some of them have clothing. Hopefully this will all be finished up soon enough and I’ll be able to add eyes, lips, and hair… [...]

Aside from having to still crochet one pair of legs, these beauties are all set to be sewn together and look like dolls.  Then the fun can begin.  This first part is the not so fun part of making my dolls.  Maybe because it doesn’t really change all that much from one doll to the [...]

I did the weirdest thing while having coffee this morning. I actually picked up a pencil and found my sketch book. This first drawing is the result of a cup of coffee and watching a show on giant squids last night… apparently. I also would like to sketch up a doll [...]

I haven’t touched a crochet hook in about 1 week… and didn’t even think about it.  It was a rough week over here at Knot By Gran’ma… but things are settling back to normal and hopefully I can re-start doing things.  Maybe I can remember that I do know how to crochet and get myself [...]

I was browsing through my photos the other day and stumbled across this picture. I then realized that I wrote the pattern down for these. I guess I should make some more up and list the pattern for sale. They’re pretty easy to make and probably would make a little kid’s day [...]

The fingerless gloves came out fantastic! (Not to toot my own horn) I am currently double checking my pattern and figuring out the sizing. This should all take about 1 week to finish.
I will be offering a pre-sale on the pattern in my pattern section on Etsy for a discounted price of [...]

I know I said I have two dolls to finish. I do, but here I am side-tracked. I decided I needed a pair of fingerless gloves… the kind with the fingers crochet in. My fingers get chilly easily and I need them mostly covered. I also want to go snowboarding [...]
