Mormor’s Sweater
Mormor Matilda felt a little chilly and under-dressed with just a pair of drawers and her shift.
Luckily she found a sleeping bag and decided to inhabit it while casually mentioning how nice it would be to have a garment as soft and beautiful as this one.

The “sleeping bags” are a pair of beautiful mittens, hand knitted out of Alpaca yarn – the human won them in a raffle at a Fibre Fair!

.
Coincidentally a friend was in the throes of downsizing, and gave the human a ball of lace weight Alpaca yarn and some tiny toothpicky knitting needles.

Mormor is now very cosy and very pleased.

I love Mormor’s sweet face – she reminds me of my mother.
Thank you very much, I enjoyed trying to carve an elderly lady!
Well, I think you did a fine job!
Mormor looks so happy to have a warm sweater of her own.
She is happy! The sweater took a few tries, but I did get it made in the end!
lucky you, those mittens look warm and comfy. Mormor’s sweater is perfect, she has such a sweet, gentle smile and wonderful eyes.
I was very lucky to get the mitts!!! Mormor loves her new sweater, and smiles a lot when she is wearing it…her eyes are particularly what I wanted to get right!
Mormor was beautifully carved…an older, more experienced doll amongst the younger ones could be most helpful…and her acquired garments and “bag” look so cozy. She will be well cared for.
Thanks Becky…I think she will be helpful around the cupboard, and the Hittys will want to make her happy (as will I)
Mormor is the perfect Granny with those eyes that truly seem to sparkle and that warm and welcoming smile. She is awesome. Her new sweater looks picture perfect…I am sure she is thrilled with her new home and family.
I am glad that you like her looks – she is happy to have “come home” to us! We will do our best to keep her happy (starting with her comfy sweater!)
Oh my what a perfect sweater for your dear Grandmother. She does look very snug and warm now. And the color is perfect for her.
I thought the colour was perfect too! She certainly seems happy with it, and that makes me happy too!
