Bingo!

Never doubt the power of bingo trolls! My daughter’s school has a basket bingo fundraiser every year. Last year I had terrible luck – I didn’t win so much as a door prize. I decided that drastic measures were necessary, so I found some trolls at the local thrift shop. I decided that what my trolls really needed was some hand knit clothes. (Who doesn’t?) Mama troll is wearing a lovely dress knit with Fixation, the stretchy sock yarn, a scarf made out of some leftover Boa, and a felted backpack made from Parfait Swirls. The boy is wearing overalls made from some cotton sock yarn (no label.) I had to sew him into it. The little girl is wearing a dress made from Regia Crazy – which nearly drove me crazy trying to find the color repeat in order to make matching socks. Here they are in all their troll glory:





And here’s the basket I won during the last game of the night:

OMYGOSH! Those are adorable! I don't know if you're old enough to remember this but in '65 they were the rage amongs us pre-adolescents!
What cute outfits - and good luck in bingo, too! Who knew?
