I am still struggling with the raglan; I don’t know how many times I had to start over. Don’t get me wrong please, my teacher was/is great, I got the logic behind the raglan style almost immediately but the magic 6 style that she thought me, did not work for my dolls, starting with 6 stitches for the arms makes them too tight for my doll arms, so I have to figure out my magic number for the arms and the best way to do is try and error method. So the half done cardigan you see above will have to be started over :o)

I also dyed 2 skeins (wool and mohair with Kool Aid of course) of yarn for the hair this past weekend. Both are almost the same color, “reddish brown”. I am planning to sew the hairs on the dolls before this weekend.

Speaking of the dolls, I was watching Lara play the other day and one more time realized how fast she is growing and remembered that I was going to sew her summer dresses. But since I have so little time I can only work on 1 craft at a time, so I decided to finish up the dolls that are in the process now and gather my doll making materials and put them away for a while to concentrate dressing up my little girl for the summer. :o)

Happy Monday!
