Jan Messent's Knitted Gardens book was the inspiration for my little dollhouse. Mercy wanted one with twins, a boy and a girl. See them wrapped in their little baby blankets? Tucked in their little Moses basket?I unvented my own house with knitted, unspun roving, felted in an effort to construct a building of substance.
The dolls, grass, and clothing are knitted with both millspun yarn scraps and handspun yarns from fiber samples.
Knitting a dollhouse is a delightful task, almost as much fun as playing with one.
Despite the fact that the doll's abode tends to unexpectedly crumple in on itself like a long-abandoned farmhouse, both Verity and Peace wish that they had asked for a dollhouse for Christmas. Looks like I will have opportunity to perfect my architectural construction....I wanted to take a picture of the kids for the grandmas again, but they don't hold still enough and my pictures keep blurring. This was the best of the bunch. You can still see the cuteness despite the blurriness.

That is a great dollhouse!
as for the "abode unexpectedly crumpling in on itself like a long-abandoned farmhouse"...I am trying to solve that problem with a tea cozy I am making...it's all about stability....
Oh, that dollhouse is just the sweetest thing!
I love the baby basket.
That dollhouse is so cool, Donna. I just love it. And the sweater, too.
But, those girls. Ah, what beauty.
