help -knitted slings for dolls

[lashes2508]

Hi All,

I am trying to locate a link which i thought i had downloaded - it was i believe an american lady blogged it and link was either on here or the fb page - she talked about boys she looked after and their love of dolls( playing babies) and it featured some lovely knitted slings - i have a grandparent willing to make them but need the picture -- can anyone help please

it's not like this is it Lashes

 

I would never have imagined this - off to see what else is out there to encourage the boys to be more tender to the dolls!

 

crossed posts!

Even better with the pattern - thanks for sharing!

Woww..... i was just googling for something to 'knit' .............. then wander back here and find this :lol:

 

I was about to crochet and bunch of flowers as that was the most inspirational I could find - but now sorted. :1b

Alabaloo, thank you...I didn't go deeper than the original Pinterest page so didn't realise about the book - fab (and ordered!!)

On a phone so can't link posh!

 

I was surprised to be able to still buy it to be honest - the reviews celebrate its goodness so I can see it being sensitively sent home to my dads who are smiling nicely when they walk in and see tommy playing with the dolls!
