Meet Rose Mary


Annie's first completed knitting project. She is so proud and this doll has been going everywhere with us lately. We didn't use a pattern. She simply knitted yellow until she had a long enough dress and then we added white (she learned how to change yarn). We ended up with a rectangle. She sewed the seams, formed the head, braided the hair, knotted the necklace, and sewed felt around her base so she stands. I helped with one eye and the mouth, sewing the hair on, and some of the seam work.

She was having a hard time naming her. I asked her what some of her favorite names were and she said she liked Rose but she liked Mary too. So, she decided to name her Rose Mary since her eyes are the color of Rosemary.
