For my Pal Val.

My Pal Val is a keen knitter. She wanted to buy my forager's wife, but I couldn't let her go so I promised to make Val a version.

Here is the covered and needle felted armature, complete with lace trimmed bloomers and wired cloth hands.

 and a nice warm petticoat.

Topped off with a tea dyed muslin (cheesecloth) skirt.
