Two best friends, Kirsten og Tiril ...  Zwei beste Freundinnen, Kirsten und Tiril Cleng Peerson moved first to Fox River near by Chicago, he died in Bosque County, Texas in 1865.
Today there are nearly 5 million Americans of Norwegian descent, just as many as there are native Norwegians living in Norway today. |
Fans of Amercan Girl dolls know the story the little Swedish girl who came to America as an immigrant in 1854. So it fits well to visit Cleng's house.  Perhaps Cleng stood like this in this doorway 4. of July 1825 ... ... and looked out over the courtyard just before he went on board the sloop "Restoration" ... ... that would take him to a new life in America. Kirsten knows exactly how it feels staying for weeks on board a small boat on a big ocean. |

 This month Kirsten is dressed in a beautiful blue suit with turquoise stripes. The suit has 2 turquoise stripes around the legs. Through the other stripe on the leg I have knitted a row of eyelets. |
 Through the eyelets I have pulled a blue chord and bound this in a row along the outside of the legs. The yoke is knitted in moss sts. |
 The same is the edges around the sleeves. The sleeves have a ridge knitted in turquoise to mark were st st knitting start on the sleeves. |
 It is buttoned on the top of the opening back. The suit has a turquoise stripe across the neckband. |
 The hat has an edge knitted in turquoise before I knitted the moss sts edge. Before knitting st st I knitted another stripe in turquoise between. |
 Then I crocheted a little turquoise top and sewed this to the top of the hat. |
 Then I used beige for knitting this little sack for your doll. The sack has a stripe in turquoise across the edges, ... |
 ... and it worked out perfect to these clothes. Useful for a little walk along the path. |
 The shoes is also knitted in beige. They have ankle straps and are buttoned along the outside of the legs with a little turquoise heart button. This outfit worked out to be a superb outfit for your doll. I am sure your doll will love these clothes for her walks. |
 I hope you will enjoy this out outfit, find needles and yarn, and spend some lovely time whilst knitting it.Good luck! Regards Målfrid |
