Squinty Dolls and Wool

 

Sylvia is wearing a knitted crawler which was a knitting pattern in an English magazine in the 1960’s.


Tara is wearing a long knitted dress done in 3 ply wool.


Carolyn is sitting on a 1950’s blanket and wearing a knitted coat of wool.


Marilyn holding the toy cat made from the woolen material of a jacket.


This is an unmarked doll with moulded shoes and is approx. 15 cm in height.


These two toddlers are using the balls of wool to help them to walk.


A nappy change has been done. Handkerchiefs were used in the 1960’s as nappies for these dolls.  We used to pin the nappy in the middle with a safety pin.


These two dolls are wearing crawlers. The doll on the left is wearing a pixie hat and is holding an owl key ring which has light up eyes and makes a noise when the on button is pushed. The doll on the right is wearing a wee willy winkie hat and is holding a hedgehog key ring which has a light up nose and makes a noise when the button is pushed. 


Lorraine is looking at the picture of cut out sheep from a recycled Swanndri. She would like to buy five lambs cut outs which have been designed by Marie Guinibert.
