OK, so we went to Charleston (that's SC) for an overnight during the holiday and visited the Charleston City Market. There was a Peruvian lady there selling alpaca handknits...the boys each bought a chullo in natural colors, and R got a pair of gloves.
Thinking that perhaps the gloves needs some palmar traction, I purchased some mitten palms from Halcyon Yarn (the only place I could find them, I actually made a purchase there a long time ago during a visit to Maine), shortened them a bit, put some additional holes in with a hammer and a small nail, and sewed them on...voila!
I am having way too much fun birthing a Theodora (also available here)...
She has brown hair (like me). I like not being bored while I knit (e.g. I prefer no vast wastelands of garter or stockinette...) and like a lace pattern. Similarly, with doll knitting, there's lots of shaping to do to keep me busy. Thanks, Helene!! I suspect that various family members (me, my Mom, my little neice) will all want one, so I suspect more Theodoras will follow...
