New Discovery!!

Aïcha

It appears there is yet another

"totally different" 
Spears Games Knitting Nancy lurking

around somewhere in the world.

I discovered recently via the internet

that there was another Knitting

Nancy produced for the French

market.

While the discovery was

only a box and it was missing the

original Knitting Nancy,

and that I would probably

never be able to possess it,
I thought, well then, I could

paint my own.

So with an image of the box top

I came up with this below -

(only needs the nails which will

be put in soon) 

 Aïcha

(say Ay-i-sha

.... and also spelled A'isha,

Aisha, Ayesha and Ayisha)
is an Arabic female name.

Could it be because of the

Arabic name that she is

brown?

She would date from the late 1920's

because of the statement

regarding her new staples

(pointes en arc).

Though I still prefer

the "Knitting Nancy" to

"Aïcha", I am quite
fond of my

little reproduction.

 

(Now here she is all

complete.) 

I wonder if there are

others "out there"?!!!!

Babushka, Spiderman and Beefeater

These Knitting Dolls (spoolknitters) are newly made

from the later part of 2009.

They are Made in China by

Sailing Toys & Gifts Co. Limited

(see ToysLink for another

range of knitting doll with same

packaging).

The very colourful set of six Babushka

(product spelling) knitting dolls come in

red, purple, orange, blue, green, and pink.

 

There are also another two new spoolknitters

from the same company.

The Spiderman and Beefeater each called

a Knitting Boy, I would say are

especially made for the

young males who enjoy spool knitting.

Below are the front and back

views of the Spiderman spoolknitter.

These spoolknitters are very well

made and would be an excellent addition

to your collection.
