Well you can see why the boys wanted me to make this from Knitting for Gold! I have promised to make them one each and to knit new belts in the right colour for everytime they get graded
I started this ages ago but as I have to make 2 at the same time it has been slow going. First I made 4 feet
They will look more like feet when they are folded and stuffed
Then I had to make 4 arms...
and of course 2 heads...
But then I ran out of steam.
However a week in Dorset which included a few rainy days restored by knitting passion so I started to make the bodies, complete with intergrated pants!!
joining the 2 legs
It looks a bit odd but I had no stuffing with me but its supposed to look like this
So instead I started on the karate suit
Attaching the sleeves
So that's one suit, just one more to go...
But we are home now and I have stuffing so I will attempt to assemble the doll although sewing is not my strong point.
I will post up more pictures when they are finished.
I have also been crochetting and using cotton. I have abandoned the knitted/crochetted jumper but I have found a different pattern to try which seems simpler.
But I will save these for another day but for now back to the karate suits....
