Sometime last year, Abby came home with a little yarn doll that her friend made. I asked Abby to make me one since it looked simple enough, but was waiting to have the right handspun for it. It never happened, so on Friday (I’m cheating again and am writing this on Friday night) at our weekly Knit Club*, I took the time to make one for myself. It’s so cute!

I took some thin handspun and plied it on itself a couple times to make a neat, thick, cabled yarn (the green). I then tried to cable another old handspun (the pink-red) but it didn’t work. I must have been twisting it the wrong way. Anyway, I assembled this little cutie and have dropped her into my guitar as a good luck charm. Or something. It sounds fun to me to have a little doll in my guitar. Hopefully, it won’t wreak merry havoc with my pickup.

*My older girls have just started up a little club where a few friends at school come immediately from school each Friday to knit for a couple hours. It’s adorable.
