doll for shelley

It’s getting harder and harder to come up with something original to make for all of the baby showers we’re having at knitting group. I wanted to give something different than the expected blanket, bib or sweater. After I found this little doll on ravelry, I grabbed my yarn and started right away. For those of you not on ravelry, you can find the free pattern on Owlishly. Isn’t she adorable? She looks tiny in this pic, but she’s actually about six inches tall. I think she turned out perfect.

stash: I used new materials for the doll, which I usually do for baby gifts, but the yarn, embroidery thread and stuffing all came from my stash.
