Doll
Thanks for welcoming me back. I didn't stop knitting during my blogging hiatus, so I will show you some of the things I made over the next weeks.
However, I'm starting with one of the other crafts I enjoy: sewing. A while ago, I made this doll for me my daughter.
I used the Kit, Chloe and Louise pattern by Wee Wonderfuls. Such a wonderful pattern and not difficult at all, even for a relatively inexperienced sewer like me..
Lotte even plays with her sometimes. Here, she's reading her a book.
The book she's reading is one of her favorites at the moment: Gonnie en Gijsje, or Gossie and Gertie, a cute little book about two goslings.
I'm so happy with the way the (still nameless) doll turned out!

That IS a cute little doll. Thanks for sharing; I'm going to have to go look up that pattern.
And I can't believe how big Lotte has grown already! She's cute as a button, too.

Hallo Saartje,
Wat leuk dat je weer bent gaan bloggen! Wat is je dochter gezellig aan het lezen met haar pop!
Ik heb lang geleden;-) een paar keer met je gemaild over hoe jij sokken breide en dat is wel uitgegroeid tot een echte hobby;-) Ik brei m'n sokken nog steeds zo.
hartelijke groet, Martine

It is so nice to hear from you again. Your doll turned out so well. How cute is that picture of your daughter reading to her doll. I love her curls too. My daughter always brushes hers out.

I check every week or so to see if you have posted. I like to see what you are up to and I'm so glad to see that you are back. Your doll is very cute, but your daughter is absolutely precious.

Leuk dat je weer aan het bloggen bent. Wat is je dochter groot geworden! De pop ziet er prachtig uit. Je dochter zal er vast wel een naam voor bedenken.

Leuk Saartje! So nice to have you back. I just love your projects and your little girl!

forgot to mention- Is there anything that you would like from Knit Pics? I am coming to Amsterdam in late September for 3 days and could bring something and mail it to you from Holland.

My daughter sent me your pattern for the bootees about a year ago. She recently had a baby girl and I knit a pair for her. I adjusted your pattern to double point needles, thus eliminating the back seam. Worked well. And they were just darling on her little girl.

I know this doesn't have to do with your most recent post....but I just discovered your site via SouleMama's website. And I browsed through it and discovered a photo of amazing little baby socks that you knit for your daughter and for others (May 2007 post). I have been looking for a cute baby sock pattern and wondered if you would be able to tell me where you found your pattern for a sock or two that you made! I really appreciate your help.

A few years ago I came upon your patterns on Ravelry, I love your patterns. I can see that your back in your blogging hiatus again, hopefully you'll come back with more to show :)

My sister-in-law is from Amsterdam. She and my brother lived in Rotterdam when I visited your beautiful and interesting country. Thank you for making the Noro hat pattern available! I am an unskilled knitter, but I was able to make a beautiful Noro hat for my elderly mother (89 years old). She is of the age to not want any THINGS for a birthday, but she likes wool and the hat looks great on her. Thank you for making that possible.
