I had a great time checking out her knitting projects.  I especially loved these <a href=\"http:\/\/mimoknits.typepad.com\/knitting\/2004\/06\/bear_10.html\">bears<\/a>!  I have always liked knitted toys, though I haven&#8217;t done much.  I am always looking out for examples and patterns.  Below are 2 projects from the past.  The dog was something for one of the dolls to hold- didn&#8217;t actually work out too well, and the other was a little purse\/necklace I made for my daughter when she was almost 4 (1988) and having a bad time at nursery school.  It is a floppy princess that holds a Chapstick.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"350\" height=\"238\" border=\"0\" alt=\"10:14:knittoy.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/archives\/10:14:knittoy.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that I&#8217;ve finished Autumn, I have gone to work on what I feel I ought to do instead of what I want to do- that means make some stuff that is likely to sell during the holiday season.
