Long time, no post on knitting. Well never fear the knitting bug never left me...
I have recently acquired a Sasha doll. I've been wanting one for some time, the first time I ever saw one was on the Knitting Workshop with Elizabeth Zimmerman. She made all sorts of outfits for them, and now that I finally have one I am devoting myself to the task of knitting every one of her patterns for them. :D
So in anticipation of some vintage knits:
I used a sweet little icy blue sequined yarn for this one. The bonnet is a nice little knit and the shaping at the back is brilliant. It occurs of course that the hat could be worn the other way 'round (in fact it says so in the instructions) so I gave it a try.
I actually think I like it better this way :) If you are interested in trying the Elizabeth Zimmermann Sasha patterns yourself, they can be found HERE
Next up: the tights! :D
