Cute woollen dolls keep veteran knitter busy in Chennai

When the lockdown left 78-year-old homemaker Sharada Ganapathy from Chennai with an abundance of leisure time, she decided to knit dolls instead of spending it watching movies or plays, as was the norm for her. Sharada has created over 60 woollen dolls of various shapes and sizes in the past two years with at least 20 dolls made during lockdown. Knitting various accessories can be time-consuming.” While a palm-held toy can be made in one or two days, the bigger dolls require up to a week. “I hope to sell some dolls and perhaps undertake small orders for birthdays and festive décor items in the coming months, but at a scale that I can manage without too much pressure,” says Sharada.
