All of a sudden it was mid February and I still had a bazillions ends to weave in, and an entire doll to make. The ends were finally finished on Friday night. Thankfully we have had a few cooler evenings so being covered in a wool blanket hasn't been awful.
When I handed my blanket over at the show, the lady on charge commented on how unusual the colours are (really?) so it will be interesting to go back and see what else has been entered.
And this is Mali.
Mali is a special kind of mermaid. She is very curious about life outside the ocean and every now and then she can turn her tail into legs and live on land.
From the look of the entries that were already there, Mali will spend the next week in a sea of porcelain dolls.
If you are going to the show next weekend, pop in to the craft pavilion and say hi to Mali.
I think the colours of your blanket are divine - I plan on getting the very same colours to make one of my own! =)
ReplyDeleteWord is that the crochet ladies at the show can be quite.. ahem.. set in their ideas?
And Mali is gorgeous!

Oh God - if it's the lady I think it might be with the crochet handover, she can be quite, uh, opinionated! Ignore her. Hell - ignore them all. Your blanket is fantastic and the colours are perfect.
ReplyDeleteHope Mali and your blanket do really well! They deserve too. I won't be able to go to the show as I have something else on that weekend, but I want photos if you do go!
Oh, winners, both of them! I think the colors are so great, and the blanket is gorgeous. And I am always, always a fan of your dolls.
ReplyDeleteI'm eye-rolling at the colour combo commentary - but then again, I think maroon and bottle-green and brown are an unusual mix. Fab entries - as, er, always!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for you! Love the seaspray hair.
