Winner gets nothing tangible, but I'll tag you on the post as the best guesser ever. ;) UPDATE: Mommy22alyns guessed it! Page 3. :) Edited November 17, 2010 by smrtmama We have a winner!

smrtmama Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 a ranch house? No, but that's the best answer ever, so I'm still tagging you on the post. I <3 Breakfast at Tiffany's! I love everyone's guesses and now I have some additional great ideas of things to knit. Keep the guesses coming. :) Here's a hint: It's very tiny (but no, I'm not pregnant) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually wondered if anyone else would know what I was talking about. I wasn't sure how many people have seen that movie. It's been a favorite of mine since high school.

smrtmama Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 A finger puppet Oooh, I like this guess. Not quite that tiny, though. I do plan to knit this at some point, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommy22alyns Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I was going to guess scarf, but you said it was very small. It's nothing in the round, that's for sure. Hmmmm... :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlifemom Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I guessed on your blog. It is a stuffed [small] Magenta doll to go with your Blues Clues collection. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm... :confused: Definitely not in the round, but I use my circulars for just about everything. Much easier on my wrists and arthritic hand.

smrtmama Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 There is nothing about those that I do not love. And while what I'm knitting does have something to do w/ Waldorf-related toys, it's not a gnomey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm knitting this for fellow WTMer patchfire's younger daughter's 2nd birthday! Her nickname is Purple Child and Patchfire and I made Waldorf dolls for our daughters for Christmas last year. I'm making a wardrobe for her dolly for her birthday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommy22alyns Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Woohooo!!! That is a really cute little sweater. How was it making the Waldorf dolls? Did you hand sew or use a machine? I've been thinking of making one but I would definitely have to hand sew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking of making one but I would definitely have to hand sew. There's a learning curve, for sure. I've been making them to sell for about the last two years (a touch ironic, I know, in light of my less-than-loving-Waldorf-method post today). Here are some of the dolls and doll items I've made over the last couple years. I seam the bodies by machine and do the rest by hand. You can get presewn bodies from Weir Dolls if you don't want to fuss w/ doing that part by hand. Everything else has to be done by hand as far as I can figure. No shortcuts!

Those are adorable, I love the pic with the doll wearing glasses- my dd's put their old glasses on their stuffed animals. Did you use the Kinder Dolls book for patterns/instructions? I have that book SOMEwhere, but haven't been able to find it lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[just don't ask my kids. ;)] It's randomly generated by the blog. Different blogs are set up for different randomly generated icons; I chose the faces. I always recommend signing up for Gravatar (at Gravatar.com) -- it lets you sync you email address up with a specific image, so when you comment on any Gravatar-supporting blog, you'll get your pic, instead of the random image.
