Crochet eyeglasses holder

Last weekend was my father's 65th birthday and what would an amigurumi lover give for his father? Something amigurumi of course! We have agreed with my family that we will not make any expensive gifts for each other. Nevertheless, self-made gifts are always welcome. When I found from the internet the idea to crochet a head with nose and ears as a holder for eyeglasses I thought it was really clever and fun. Most of my family members wear glasses and I have planned for a while now to make a gift for one of them. My father's birthday this year was the perfect time to finally try it out. When I gave the head to my father I explained to him that it serves three purposes. Firstly, it holds my father's glasses so he could always find them. Secondly, when my father needs to consult with someone smarter than himself he can talk to the head because two heads are always better than one. And thirdly, when my father is not at home and my mother wants to talk to somebody then the old man's head is almost as talkative as my father. :-)

Eelmisel nädalavahetusel oli minu isa 65. sünnipäev ja mida kingib ometi üks amigurumihull tütar oma isale? No muidugi mingi heegeldatud tegelase! Me oleme perekonnas kokku leppinud, et enam me kalleid kingitusi üksteisele ei osta. Oma tehtud kingitused on sellegipoolest alati teretulnud. Kui ma leidsin internetist selle lõbusa ja kavala idee, et heegeldada nina ja kõrvadega suur pea prillide hoidjaks, siis mõtlesin kohe, et see oleks lahe kink mõnele minu prillikandjast perekonnaliikmele (ja neid on meil päris mitu). Selle aasta isa juubel oli hea võimalus see idee lõpuks teoks teha. Kui ma selle heegeldatud pea isale üle andsin siis selgitasin, et sellel on kolm eesmärki. Esiteks saab isa seal hoida oma prille, et need igal ajal üles leida. Teiseks on ikka mõnikord vaja kellegi endast targemaga nõu pidada ja kaks pead on ikka ju kaks pead. Kolmandaks võib see vanamehe pea seltsi pakkuda ka minu emale, kui isa kodust ära on, sest see on peaaegu niisama jutukas kui minu isa. :-) 

I had the idea from the beginning that it has to be a cheerful old man with grey hair. I had some silky and soft eyelash yarn left from my fuzzy kitten project that was perfect for the old man's hair. At first I was planning to make him a full head of hair but when I started to attach the hair he looked cuter partly bold. It was a quick and easy project and I needed only basic crocheting and amigurumi skills to make it. I used about 150 m (164 yards) of 100% cotton yarn (DROPS Paris, worsted weight) and a 4 mm crochet hook.

***

Mul oli kohe alguses idee heegeldada hallide juustega rõõmus vanamees ning mul oli veel karvaste kassipoegade heegeldamise ajast alles ka halli karvast lõnga. See lõng on nii pehme ja siidine ja sobis juusteks väga hästi. Algul plaanisin ikka vanamehe peale teha korraliku juuksepahmaka, kuid kui ma juukseid kinnitama hakkasin, siis nägi ta palju vahvam välja poolenisti kiilaspeana. See oli väga lihtne ja kiire projekt, kuna selleks oli vaja ainult väga algelisi heegeldamise ja amigurumi oskusi. Kasutasin selleks kaks tokki beeži DROPS Paris 100% puuvillast lõnga ning 4 mm heegelnõela.

New pattern - Tobias the amigurumi boy doll

I am happy to let you know that my new amigurumi pattern for a boy doll has been released. Tobias is a happy little boy who is always ready to play and explore the world with you. The standing doll has been crocheted with 100% cotton DK / light worsted yarn and it is about 33 cm / 13" tall. In the pattern you will find clear instructions and many helpful photos to make your own Tobias doll.

***

Mul on hea meel teatada, et minu uus juhend poiss-nuku heegeldamiseks (inglise keeles) on nüüd saadaval. Tobias on rõõmsameelne väike poiss, kes on alati valmis mängima ja sinuga koos maailma avastama. See seisev nukk on heegeldatud DROPS Muskat 100%-lisest puuvillasest lõngast ning pikkuseks on tal 33 cm. Juhendist leiab põhjalikud juhtnöörid ja palju abistavaid pilte, et omale ka nukk Tobias valmis heegeldada.

I made my first boy doll as a custom order for a little boy named Tobias for his first Christmas. The doll was named after this little boy. The doll turned out to be quite popular and people asked me for the pattern. You can find many patterns for girl dolls but not too many boy doll patterns are available. I have made a few alterations to the original design. New Tobias wears sneakers instead of boots, his legs are also chubby but slightly longer and this time he does not wear the stripy shirt. I played around with the position of the hat but I think it looks the cutest with the brim on the back. The clothes are not removable but you can choose whether you attach the hat to the head or not. I prefer attaching everything because the garments tend to come off and disappear.

***

Oma esimese poiss-nuku heegeldasin ma tellimustööna väikesele poisile nimega Tobias tema esimesteks jõuludeks ning ka nukk sai nime omale just selle väikse poisi järgi. Minu poiss-nukk osutus üsna populaarseks ja inimesed hakkasid minult ka mustrit küsima. Tüdruk-nukkude heegeldamiseks leiab juhendeid palju, kuid kuuldavasti väga palju poiss-nuku tegemise juhendeid just liikvel ei ole. Võrreldes originaaliga tegin ka väikeseid muudatusi. Uuel Tobiasel on jalas saabaste asemel ketsid, tema jalad on endiselt pontsakad, kuid veidi pikemad ning triibulist särki ta enam ei kanna. Katsetasin natuke mütsi asendiga, kuid kõige vahvam oli nukk just nii, et mütsinokk vaatab selja taha. Nuku riideid ei saa ära võtta, kuid võib valida, kas müts kinnitada pea külge või mitte. Mina eelistan kõik nukule külge õmmelda, sest suures mänguhoos on riietel komme seljast ära tulla ja siis ka ära kaduda.  

The pattern is available in my usual pattern stores: Etsy, Ravelry and Craftsy. I always love seeing your toys made according to my patterns and you are welcome to share the pictures on my Facebook or tag me on Instagram (@smartapplecreations)

Juhend on saadaval minu tavalistes poodides: Etsy, Ravelry and Craftsy. Mulle meeldib alati vaadata ka pilte teie tehtud mänguasjadest ning ikka jagage pilte kas minu Facebooki lehel või "tägige" mind Instagramis (@smartapplecreations).

Have a great spring!
Ilusat kevadet!

Tobias - amigurumi boy doll

A few months ago my friend became an aunt to a little boy and she asked me to make a gift for him. The little boy was named Tobias and it reminded my friend a book from her childhood: "Toby Claypot's Wishing Well" by Jane Patience. In this book Toby was an elf and we agreed that I will try to come up with an idea for an elf (but not a Christmas elf). We discussed that it would be really cute if the elf would wear shorts with suspenders like her brother used to wear as a little boy. 

***

Mõned kuud tagasi sai mu sõbranna tädiks pisikesele poisile ja palus mul talle kingitus valmistada. Tema väikese vennapoja nimeks sai Tobias ja see meenutas minu sõbrannale ühte raamatut lapsepõlvest - "Savipoti-Tobi soovikaev" autoriks Jane Patience. Selles raamatus on Tobi päkapikk ja me leppisime kokku, et proovin teha kaisu-päkapiku (aga mitte jõulupäkapiku). Me arutasime veel, et oleks väga armas, kui päkapikul oleksid jalas sellised lühikesed traksidega püksid nagu sõbranna vennalgi lapsepõlves.   

    

Usually I start to crochet my toys from the head. Although I always make a little sketch before I start crocheting, I can more easily imagine the shape and proportions of the other pieces after the head is completely finished. This time I did not have a clear idea how the toy should look like and I started from the boots. The more I worked on the toy, the more difficult it was for me to imagine it as an elf. Sometimes I lose interest in the project if the original idea does not work out. Then I will hide the unfinished project into a box and forget it for months. This time I did not let it bother me as I wanted to see what will come out of it. When I had finished the head it was clear that it will be a little boy instead. I gave him a cute little boy haircut and made him a cap to wear backwards. My friend liked the boy doll and little Tobias will get him for his first Christmas.   

***

Tavaliselt alustan ma mänguasjade heegeldamist peast. Kuigi ma alati teen ka enne heegeldama hakkamist väikese joonistuse, on mul siiski lihtsam teiste kehaosade kuju ja proportsioone ette kujutada, kui pea on täiesti valmis. Sel korral mul väga selget mõtet ei olnud, kuidas mänguasi välja nägema hakkab ning alustasin hoopis saabastest. Mida rohkem ka selle kallal töötasin, seda raskem oli mul ette kujutada seda mänguasja päkapikuna. Kui mu algne idee välja ei tööta, siis mõnikord kaotan ma huvi. Siis pistan ma pooleli oleva töö karpi peitu ja unustan pikkadeks kuudeks. Sel korral aga ei lasknud ma ennast sellest heidutada, kuna tahtsin näha, mis välja tuleb. Kui mul oli pea valmis saanud, siis oli selgemast selge, et sellest saab hoopis väike poiss. Andsin talle armsa väikse poisi soengu ning nokamütsi, mida tagurpidi pähe panna. Minu sõbranna jäi samuti poisiga rahule ja väike Tobias saab selle kingituseks oma esimesteks jõuludeks.

 The doll is also called Tobias like his future owner and the name has been embroidered in the front of his shorts. I imagine that the amigurumi boy doll is about three years old, he likes to run around and play ball. The doll is about 30 cm (11.8 inches) tall and crocheted with 100% cotton yarn DROPS Muskat. 

***

Selle poiss-nuku nimi on samuti Tobias nagu ka tema tulevasel omanikul ja see on ka tikitud tema pükstele. Ma kujutan ette, et ta on umbes kolmeaastane poiss, kellele meeldib õues ringi joosta ja palli mängida. Mänguasi on umbes 30 cm pikkune ja heegeldatud 100% puuvillasest lõngast DROPS Muskat.

Tiny amigurumi doll

My daughter was invited to a friend's birthday party again and we needed to find a gift. Usually if I have enough time before the party I try to add something handmade into the package. As my daughter and her friends get older it gets more and more difficult for me to come up with a gift that would be suitable for the little ladies. Although my first daughter is only six years old, she and her friends are already interested in make-up and dressing up. Next year they will start school already and they do not need teddy-bears and cuddly bunnies as much. 

***

Minu tütar oli taaskord kutsutud sõbra sünnipäevale ja vaja oli leida kingitus. Kui mul on piisavalt aega enne sünnipäevapidu, siis ma püüan tavaliselt ikka midagi enda tehtut kingikotti poetada. Kuna mu tütar ja tema sõbrad saavad järjest vanemaks, on ka neile väikestele preilidele sobiva kingituste välja mõtlemine järjest raskem. Kuigi mu tütar on alles kuueaastane, huvitab teda ja tema sõpru juba meikimine ja enda üles löömine. Järgmisel aastal alustavad nad juba kooliga ja ei vaja enam nii palju kaisukarusid ja -jänkusid.

Not too long ago I started to use Instagram and I really like how easily I can find and explore pictures that interest me. Accidentally I stumbled across a picture of an adorable little crochet doll and I fell in love. I knew right away that this is a perfect gift for a preschooler. I was really happy to find out that the designer - Double Treble Trinkets - had shared the pattern for free. It took me only a few of hours to finish the doll and she looks so cute. I love the fluffy hair and red cheeks (I used some pink lip gloss for that). The designer has many cute designs that you can see from her Facebook page. She has made one doll with wings based on the same dolly design and this is my favourite. I want to make one little fairy for my daughter my daughter as well and she has asked me to make yellow hair to the fairy doll.  

***

Alles üsna hiljuti hakkasin Instagrami kasutama ja mulle väga meeldib, kui lihtsasti ma saan leida pilte teemadest, mis just mind huvitavad. Juhuslikult sattusin peale ühele väga armsa heegeldatud nuku pildile ja armusin ära. Teadsin kohe, et see on just sobiv kink ühele koolieelikule. Ja õige toredam oli see, et selle nuku looja - Double Treble Trinkets - oli sellele ka tasuta heegeldamise juhendi kirjutanud. Mul võttis ainult mõned tunnid aega, et see nukuke valmis heegeldada ja ta näeb nii armas välja. Mulle meeldivad need kohevad juuksed ja punased põsed (selle jaoks kasutasin natuke roosat huuleläiget). Sellel disaineril on palju väga armsaid heegeldatud mänguasju, mida võib näha ka tema Facebooki lehel. Minu lemmik neist on üks nukk, mille ta on teinud sama juhendi järgi, kuid lisanud ka tiivad. Tahan oma tütrele ka teha ühe väikse nukukese haldjatiibadega ja tütar palus mul nukule teha kollased juuksed. Kingitusele tegin juurde ka ise sünnipäevakaardi.

Amigurumi angel doll

One of my old friends contacted me recently and asked me to make a christening gift for a little girl. A handmade toy that is made just for the specific little person is a very special gift for that. My friend was going to become a godmother to this little girl and asked me to crochet an angel doll.

Another Pippi Longstocking doll

A few days ago I finished another Pippi Longstocking doll. I made the first amigurumi Pippi for my daughter as a gift before our family trip to Sweden and Astrid Lindgren's world. New Pippi doll travelled to USA as a gift for a little girl with Swedish origin. The pattern for the Pippi doll is also a heavily modified version of Rudy the Readhead pattern designed by lilleliis. The pattern calls for a 3.5 mm crochet hook and I made my first doll using the suggested yarn and hook. My daughter has played with the Pippi doll a lot and taken it everywhere with her. The doll has lost its shape a bit and does not want to hold its head anymore. I crocheted the new Pippi doll with much tighter stitches and with a 3 mm hook. It is a little smaller and a bit firmer but hopefully will stay in shape after heavy cuddling as well. I really like lilleliis' doll pattern and my own modifications to it so I might crochet some additional Pippi dolls in the future as well. 

***

Mõni päev tagasi sain valmis oma teise Pipi Pikksuka nuku. Esimese Pipi heegeldasin ma oma tütrele kingituseks enne perereisi Rootsi ja Astrid Lindgreni maailma. Uus Pipi reisis Ameerikasse kingituseks väikesele tüdrukule, kellel on Rootsi juured. Ka selle Pipi nuku jaoks kasutasin lilleliisi disainitud Punapea Ruudi heegeldamise juhendit, millele tegin palju muudatusi. Juhendis soovitatakse kasutada 3.5 mm heegelnõela ja esimese nuku tegingi juhendis soovitatud lõngast ja selle heegelnõelaga. Mu tütar on oma Pipi nukku igale poole kaasa vedanud ja sellega palju mänginud ning nukk on seetõttu natuke vormi kaotanud ega taha enam hästi pead hoida. Uue Pipi heegeldasin palju tihedamalt ja väiksema - 3 mm - heegelnõelaga. Nukk sai pisut väiksem ja veidi kõvem, kuid loodetavasti püsib vormis ka peale väga kõva kaisutamist. Mulle väga meeldib lilleliisi nuku heegeldamise juhend ja mulle sobivad ka muudatused, mis sellele ise olen teinud. Ilmselt heegeldan mõne Pipi nuku ka veel edaspidi.

Crochet Pippi Longstocking

My daughter really likes Pippi Longstocking and therefore we planned our family trip this year to Sweden. We visited the largest zoo in Scandinavia - Kalmarden Wildlife Park and of course Astrid Lindgren's World in Vimmerby. My daughter was so excited about the trip. She said that this was the best thing that has ever happened to her. The experience would have been even greater for her if she would have understood Swedish but it did not bother her at all. As a child I also loved Astrid Lindgren's stories. It was fun also for me to visit the theme park and meet some of my favourite childhood characters. 

***

Minu tütrele väga meeldib Pipi Pikksukk ja sellepärast planeerisime selleks aastaks perereisi Rootsi. Külastasime Skandinaavia suurimat loomaaeda Kalmardenis ning muidugi Astrid Lindgreni maailma Vimmerbys. Mu tütar oli reisi pärast väga elevil ja leidis, et see oli parim asi, mis temaga juhtunud on. Elamus oleks tema jaoks muidugi suurem olnud, kui ta oleks ka rootsi keelt osanud, kuid ta ei lasknud ennast sellest pisiasjast eriti häirida. Mulle ka meeldisid lapsena Astrid Lindgreni jutud ning teemapargi külastamine ja lapsepõlve lemmik raamatutegelastega kohtumine oli isegi mulle täitsa tore. 

Before the trip I surprised my daughter with her very own crocheted Pippi Longstocking doll. She took Pippi with her to the trip and I used the opportunity to take some pictures with her and the doll. Even though the actress playing Pippi was very busy entertaining children, we had the chance to take one photo with her, Tommy and Annika as well.  

***

Enne reisi üllatasin oma tütart täitsa tema enda heegeldatud Pipi nukuga. Ta võttis Pipi ka reisile kaasa ja ma kasutasin võimalust, et teha nuku ja tütrega ka mõned pildid. Kuigi Pipi näitleja oli teemapargis väga hõivatud laste lõbustamisega, avanes meil siiski võimalus teha ka üks pilt koos tema, Tommy ja Annikaga.

Pippi is 36 cm (14 inches) tall, she is a soft and huggable doll. The dress and the shoes are not removable. I used 3.5 mm crochet hook and worsted weight yarns - Rowan Handknit Cotton and Schachenmayr Original Cotton Time. My amigurumi Pippi Longstocking is not entirely my own design. Pippi is a modification of Rudy the Redhead by Mari-Liis Lille also known as lilleliis. The hair and the dress are my own creation, I made the stockings longer and modified the sleeves of the shirt. I also changed the face expression. Originally Pippi wears boots but I gave her shoes that I embellished with tiny yellow buttons.

***

Pipi on 36 cm pikk, ta on pehme ja mõnus kaisunukk. Kasutasin Pipi heegeldamiseks 3,5 mm heegelnõela ning jämedamat sorti puuvillaseid lõngu Rowan Handknit Cotton ja Schachenmayr Original Cotton Time. Minu heegeldatud Pipi Pikksukk ei ole täiesti minu oma looming, vaid edasiarendus Mari-Liis Lille (teise nimega lilleliis) loodud Punapea Ruudist. Pipi juuksed ja kleit on minu oma looming, tegin tema sukad pikemaks ning muutsin ka pluusivarrukaid. Samuti andsin talle teistsuguse näoilme kui Ruudil. Tegelikult kannab Pipi saapaid, kuid mina tegin talle kingad, mille kaunistasin kahe pisikese kollase nööbiga. 

I discovered the amazing world of amigurumi also thanks to Mari-Liis when she introduced the art of crocheting toys in a magazine a few years ago. I have admired her work since then. She is one of my favourite amigurumi designers and has been a great inspiration to me. She published her first book "Võluväega mänguasjad" in April this year with 20 adorable amigurumi patterns in Estonian. I am happy that I was able to meet Mari-Liis in person as well and get the book with her autograph inside. There are many cute pattern in the book that I want to give it a try. 

***

Ma avastasin ka ise amigurumi võlumaailma just tänu Mari-Liisile, kui ta tutvustas mänguasjade heegeldamise kunsti mõni aasta tagasi Nipiraamatus. Ma olen tema tööd imetlenud sellest ajast alates. Ta on üks minu lemmik amigurumi disainereid ja on olnud mulle suureks inspiratsiooniks. Selle aasta aprillis avaldas ta ka oma esimese amigurumi juhendite raamatu "Võluväega mänguasjad", millest võib leida 20 imearmsa mänguasja heegeldamise õpetust nii algajale kui ka edasijõudnud heegeldajale. Mul on hea meel, et mul oli võimalus ka Mari-Liisiga isiklikult kohtuda ning tema raamat koos autori autogrammiga endale soetada. Raamatus on palju armsaid mänguasju, mida tahaksin kindlasti ühel heal päeval proovida teha.

Amigurumi doll Emma pattern is available

My amigurumi doll Emma finally became a pattern. You can find the English pattern on Craftsy and on Ravelry. For the pattern I changed few little details compared to the original Emma doll. I was not entirely happy with the striped sleeves as making the seamless colour change after every row was very fiddly and not worth it. So I decided to change the design a little and also make a frilly edge for the sleeve. The skirt got the same frilly edge as the sleeves and the bloomers underneath the dress. Instead of adding the flower to the shoe I embellished it with a narrow satin ribbon and a bow. I am really happy how the doll and the pattern turned out. The skill level for the pattern is advance intermediate but I included photo tutorials for all the steps so a beginner with some crocheting skills should be able to make the doll. I received very good reviews from my pattern testers so this motivates me a lot.

***

Minu Emma nukust valmis viimaks ometi ka heegeldamise juhend. Juhend on küll inglise keeles, aga huvilised leiavad selle minu juhendite poodidest Craftsy ja Ravelry. Juhendi jaoks tegin nukule ka väikesed muudatused võrreldes esimese Emma nukuga. Ma ei olnud täiesti rahul triibuliste kleidivarrukatega. Kasutasin nende heegeldamiseks nähtamatu lõngavahetuse tehnikat, kuid see oli nii aeganõudev ja tulemus ei olnud just see, mis ootasin. Nii otsustasin varrukaid natuke muuta ja teha neile ka satsilise serva. Ka seelik sai samasuguse satsilise ääre nagu varrukatel ja püksikestel kleidi all. Kingad kaunistasin lille asemel satiinpaela ja lipsuga. Ma olen lõpptulemusega ja ka juhendiga ise väga rahul. Juhend on mõeldud pigem heegeldamises juba edasijõudnudtele, kuid ma lisasin palju pilte igast nuku valmistamise etapist, nii et ka mõningase kogemusega algajad peaksid sellega kenasti hakkama saama. Sain juhendi testijatelt väga hea hinnangu, mis motiveerib mind väga tugevalt. 

I used one of my favourite yarns for amigurumi to crochet the doll - DROPS Muskat. The yarn is not easy to work with, it is quite splitty but it is mercerized cotton and has a very nice sheen to it. There are also many bright and subtle colour nuances available which I really like. When I finished the first Emma doll I also shared the picture on Garnstudio DROPS Design's Facebook page and I was so surprised that she became so popular. It was not my initial plan to write a pattern because the doll was just supposed to be a gift for my daughters friend. So many people contacted me and asked about the pattern so I eagerly started working on it. I always make notes when I crochet something so fortunately I did not have to start from the very beginning.

***

Emma heegeldamiseks kasutasin DROPS Muskat lõnga - ühte oma mänguasjade heegeldamise lemmiklõngadest. Selle lõngaga väga lihtne töötada ei ole, sest koosneb väga paljudest kiududest, aga ta on merseriseeritud puuvillane lõng ja seetõttu on tal väga kena läige. Samuti on saadaval palju erksaid ja pastelseid värvitoone, mis mulle väga meeldib. Kui ma oma esimese Emma nuku valmis sain, siis postitasin pildi ka lõngatootja Garnstudio DROPS Design Facebooki lehele. Ma olin nii üllatunud, et ta nii populaarseks osutus. Mu esialgne plaan ei olnud üldse nuku heegeldamise juhendit kirjutada, temast pidi saama lihtsalt kingitus minu tütre sõbrannale. Kuna aga paljud inimesed võtsid minuga ühendust ja küsisid juhendi kohta, siis asusingi õhinaga selle koostamise kallale. Tavaliselt teen ikka märkmeid, kui ma midagi heegeldan ja nii õnneks ka seekord, et ei pidanud täiesti otsast alustama.

Emma will make any little girl very happy. Get your pattern and spread the word among your craftsy friends. If you have any questions about the pattern, please contact me for help. Happy crocheting!

***

Emma teeb kindlasti iga väikese tüdruku väga õnnelikuks. Kui oled huvitatud eestikeelsest juhendist, siis anna endast kindlasti märku. Siis tõlgin juhendi ka kindlasti eesti keelde.

Emma - amigurumi doll

Emma is the third member of my amigurumi doll family. I started her already in October and she was supposed to be a birthday gift for my daughter's friend. Unfortunately then I could not finish the doll in time and the girl got something else for her birthday. Poor legless and armless Emma-doll was forced to wait in a box with other unfinished projects for a better time. Last week I finally got the inspiration to finish her.

***

Emma on kolmas liige minu tehtud heegeldatud nukkude peres. Ma alustasin tema heegeldamist juba oktoobris ja temast pidi saama sünnipäevakink minu tütre sõbrannale. Kahjuks siis ei jõudnud ma teda õigeks ajaks valmis ja see tüdruk sai teise kingituse. Vaene jalgadeta ja käteta nukk oli sunnitud koos lõngakerade ja teiste lõpetamata töödega konutama karbis. Eelmisel nädalal tabas mind siiski inspiratsioonipuhang ja lõpetasin ta ära. 

My first experiment with a crocheted doll was Poppy. Poppy is my daughter's doll and she has played with her a lot. When I crocheted Poppy I imagined her to be a four-year old girl (like my daughter was at the time) who likes to wear dresses. Poppy has long curly hair, cute little dress with a butterfly detail and lace-brimmed white socks. Poppy's legs have been sewn on and she can both sit and stand.

***

Mooni oli minu esimene katse nukku heegeldada. Mooni on minu tütre nukk ja ta on temaga väga palju mänginud. Kui ma teda heegeldasin, siis kujutasin ette, et ta on neljaaastane tüdruk (nagu oli ka mu tütar sel ajal), kellele meeldib kleite kanda. Moonil on pikad lokkis juuksed, mis on patsi sätitud, armas liblika detailiga kleidike ning pitsilise äärega valged sokid. Mooni jalad on külge õmmeldud, ta saab nii istuda kui seista.

I made the second doll - Polly - to a dark-haired girl as a birthday gift. With Polly I wanted to experiment a different approach for attaching legs. Her legs have been crocheted on and she is a standing doll. Polly is a little older - a seven-year-old girl. She likes to wear tunic, leggings and ballerina shoes. She has dark hair that has been braided.  

***

Teise nuku - Polly - tegin ühele tumedajuukselisele tütarlapsele kingituseks. Polly puhul tahtsin katsetada teistsugust jalgade kinnitamise viisi. Tema jalad on külge heegeldatud ja ta on seisev nukk. Polly on natuke vanem kui Mooni - seitsmeaastane. Talle meeldib kanda tuunikat, retuuse ja baleriinasid. Tal on tumedad juuksed, mis on "kringli" patsidessa sätitud.   

Amigurumi doll Emma is my first blonde doll. Her curly hair is shorter and decorated with a flower clip. She wears a pretty white collar pink dress, lace brimmed underpants and dark purple shoes. Emma is also a standing doll. 

***

Heegeldatud nukk Emma on mu esimene heledajuukseline nukk. Tema lokkis juuksed on lühemad ja kaunistatud lilleklambriga. Ta kannab ilusat valge kraega roosat kleiti, pitsilise äärega aluspükse ja tumelillasid kingi. 

Amigurumi doll Emma is 25 cm tall (9.8 inches). She has been crocheted with Drops Muskat 100% cotton yarn. The dress and shoes are not removable.

***

Heegeldatud nukk Emma on 25 cm pikk, ta on heegeldatud Drops Muskat 100% puuvillase lõngaga. Tema kleit ja kingad ei ole eemaldatavad.
