OberonSH's DFW Diary Thread - 1 Woman, 1 Toddler & A Whole Lotta Debt!

I agree, I'm having a lot of ladies in because they wouldn't spend £15 on their own baby, let alone a doll. I'm going to go 1 better - Baby Annabel MSE style. There's loads of sites offering free patterns - would put a link but not sure if I'm allowed. Basically type into a search engine free knitting patterns. 18" chest is a bit big, I'd recomend large prem or first size. I am reliably informed these fit. (14-16"). And voila. Well dressed dolly for free. Just don't forget to check of the pattern is american - they use different needle sizes to us, and they have different classifications for wool type - darned yanks always have to complicate matters.....

ah, its an 18'' dolly pattern,so I am hoping it will be okay. I tried looking for dolly clothes patterns online and i came up as a 0. But, I came up loads when I went to my nan's as she had tons of the bloomin things. I have got a few crochet patterns online though, and even though they are american they rock.

All seems to have gone quiet?

Whats the latest? Is there a seperate thread?

I've only just got around to updating myself with the happenings!

I was wondering too - come back Oberon! Hope it's a good sign and you've just been too busy what with the shop sale going through and the new life started, and the lottery win and the holiday to the Bahamas? LOL!

Has she really gone??

Surely she wouldn't go without saying goodbye?!

She's probably busy ebaying the little old ladies that come into the shop!

Oh no! I hope she hasn't gone for good

Snaggles

Right, well she has (or had?) a wool shop in Scunthorpe I think, didn't she? Surely there can't be that many! Shall we all go to Scunthorpe and drag her back kicking and screaming?
