My mum's second home is a twelfth the size of a normal one and yet often more expensive to furnish.
When mum mentions that she's cleaning the house, she is usually referring to her doll's house (right). Our lovely and slightly wacky neighbours have a doll's house too: but theirs is a complete replica of their own home! Even down to the number of tiles on the roof and panes in the window... (I kid you not).
Anyhoo, mum brought miniature-knitting to my attention. 
(I thought knitting for a premature baby was using small needles..! But - blimey - look at these knits!)
Sue Osborne and Lesley Manieri are the two sites I've gawping over! This outfit (above, left) is Sue's for a 1.5 inch doll! Eeeeek.
And the one on the right is hers for a 2 inch doll.
Lesley's bonnet, shawl and bootees in Gutterman silk thread (left) did make me feel a bit giddy.
Lesley's will be exhibiting at the Miniatura Autumn Trade Show and running a Miniature Knitting Workshop in Bruern (Nr Stowe-On-the-Wold), Oxfordshire on the 26th September. You can download the PDF booking form here. And don't forget your 0.75mm needles.
