This looks great, BTW.

What kind of yarn is that you've used for the hair? It looks amazing! I have really loved your directions and pictures for this sew-a-long! Great job Mama!

I used a boucle mohair yarn, it has loops throughout the yarn so it comes out looking "curly".

Is there a pattern you followed for the body or did you wing it? If so, what are the measurements of the body, arm, legs, etc.

TIA

I have my own patterns I use. I posted a pattern to use for the sew along, and I think someone made it printable. Try doing a search for waldorf doll pattern or something like that. I think her username is tmjdrake (Is that right??). I gotta run, if you can't find it, I'll see if I can.

found it! thanks.

I've been wanting to try and make one of these, but have been a bit intimidated. These pictures sure help though. I was successfull in the Knot Doll that was done, so I'm getting a little more confident to try this one.

Thanks so much.

thats fantastic! darnit! I MUST learn to crochet!

TipToe Fairy · 12-17-2002, 02:05 PM

I would recommend getting the "Crochet Made Easy" cd rom. I literally learned how to crochet within an afternoon. I am very visual, so I needed to see it, and it was very very easy.

cause it took me a little work to find this

I FINALLY got some yarn!!! It is so beautiful!! Just 1.40 an ounce which I thought wasn't too bad, I just got 2 ounces of two blondish colors.

I also got some carded wool, so we are making felted balls this afternoon!!

I got the mohair at a knitting shop here in Sacramento, next to the Fox and Goose Restaurant downtown--Rumplestilskin's.
