I found this free pattern on knitty for Matryoshka mittens via Alicia's blog! She posted about some new nesting Matryoshkas that she found at an Oktoberfest.
I've been in a folk art/nature inspired mood lately. I want to set up an autumn tableau on my dining room buffet server (which I got specifically for that, and also serving food I guess!!!) but I can't find my book on Nature Corners! I have books all over my house, so it's got to be here somewhere. I also found this cute etsy site, and with all the acorns in our yard during the fall, I want to make something like this:
Little Woodland Twins by dream child studio
Caroline and I made fairies a couple years ago, so I know it wouldn't be difficult. We could even put them in something like this! I have been contemplating doll making lately and folk embroidery. Did you see Alicia's felt ornament kits? Completely adorable!!! I want to live a life like Karin Larsson, filling my home with beautiful handmade things.

I love the pattern. I collect those dolls. Thanks for sharing.
What a lovely pattern, so bright and colorful, and those little acorn daolls are so very sweet, what a wonderful decoration they would make for Autumn.
I want the same! Guess I'll have to wait until Soph stops getting into everything, though. All I do is pick stuff up now. Sigh.
How sweet ! I like the Matryoshka mittens !
Those little dollies are so cute, I love them ! I need to make some :)
I love these! My Benjamin loves to collect "treasures" when out on his walks, but I never know what to do with all the pinecones, walnuts, acorns, etc. Something like this would be a fun way to keep his treasures.
i just love those mittens, pity my knitting isn't up to that standard!
the little dolls are sooo cute!

Wow, what lovely colourful mitts - they look like loads of work though!
Sorry to hear your two have been poorly, I hope they're better now. Illness has been happening on this side of the pond too, it's not much fun is it?
Many congrats to your two men, being on the winning team recently, and about that wine-tasting photo .... I can only see you and Craig, nudge nudge, wink wink ....
;)
i'm glad you liked the poodle jammies. i made the bottoms myself and used a peasant style top for the top. there are a ton of them out there. have a great day
The acorn dolls are adorable! Have fun making them for fall. I like the mittens too. People are so creative.
Thank you for the links. I always learn something when I check your posts.
I would love to have my own pair of the gloves! And I wouldn't mind sporting an acorn hat myself :)
Okay, firstly those little acorn people are fantastic and secondly....WOW Bethany! You make me want to knit! Those mittons are sooooo fantastic!
