How cute is she! You did a really, really, great job and I just love all the details. You gave her face so much expression! Aren't Jill Maas patterns fun?

Oh let me tell you about her hair if some of you who make dolls want to try it. I use eyelash yarn and it comes in many colors. I knit a swatch for this doll with about 20 stitches cast on and just knit every row, it doesn't matter. Cast off.

I then sew the swatch across her forehead and across the back of her head. I then grap the front end that is left over and the back end and sew those two together and then tack those where they lay. This gives her a real full head of hair and it's so easy. Some eyelash yarn is fatter than others, this one was.

Eyelash yarn can be expensive like almost 4.00 for a small skein....I found a bunch at big lot for 1.00 and my friends pick it up for me at 1.00 wherever they find it.

Oh yes, Jill's patterns are so fun and she is such a sweetheart. I buy directly from her so she gets the full amount and the shipping is no different from locally here in the states.

I just followed her directions and didn't change a thing.

She is adorable! Thanks for saying you used your ruffler and hemmer on your featherweight. So far I have never thought to get out the extra feet and use them on my featherweight-guess I just need to spend time some day and try them out. Keep sharing your dolls, turkeys, etc.
