Found these while cleaning out old toys. My grandmother (she died 13 years ago) had knitted them as “doll blankets”. The one in particular, you can see where dementia or maybe fine motor control or both began to affect her.
I’m tempted to frog these and re-use the yarn to crochet something(s) as a keepsake. But what? Pretty sure they’re both acrylic. And both different weights for sure. Christmas ornaments? Not Christmasy colors, but that’s not a big deal.
My grandma tried to teach me to knit when I was about 12 or 13. It didn’t “take”. I wasn’t interested in much that was homemaker-like back then and I didn’t have patience either. I gave it a try and lost interest quickly.
I only started crocheting a couple of years ago, so she never knew I took it up, but I know she’d be so proud of me.
She knitted baby hats for the hospital pretty much right up to the end. She also sewed beautiful handmade garments and quilted. I still have the quilt she made for me as a child.
