The toy department at the Farm and Garden Store has opened for the Christmas season. A wispy little girl who said she was age 4, was at the counter with her mother buying a Barbie Doll. The Barbie looked much like the dolls I was buying for my girls in the 1980's. Blonde hair, skinny waist, and long legs. Their tiny fashion outfits not all that easy to sew.
Some things old are still new. To sew and crochet. Crafting Christmas gifts- a part of homemaking.
McCalls and Family Circle magazine in the 80's published patterns for knitting and crocheting Barbie doll sweaters.
... an old fashioned Christmas this year for the knitting and crocheting grandmothers out there? (Posted before seeing the new Barbie movie! I think yarn colors would all need to be sparkly pink for this day and age. )
