“Won’t that be splendid!” Mary Frances was delighted. “I can begin right away,” she said.
“Mary Marie needs so many things,” she went on. “I do wish that the child had all the nice warm things she needs.”
“How large is she?” asked the Yarn Baby.
“Not quite sixteen inches tall,” replied Mary Frances. “I would bring her in from the playroom, but I want to surprise her if I make anything for her.”
“Of course,” said Wooley Ball. “We understand that.”
“Yes,” said the Yarn Baby, “and we will make everything just the right size for her. How would you like to make her a scarf to wear around her neck when it is cold?”
“Why—could I make a scarf with just the few kinds of stitches that I know how to make?” asked Mary Frances in surprise.
“Indeed you could, and indeed you can,” laughed Wooley Ball. “It is splendid to think of your having so many beautiful yarns,” she added.
