i made the small, yes that is the small version of this pattern.
I've been working on this during breaks and lunches at work for a month, so i would say that it would take about two weeks or less if you work on this as your only project. but that's not how i roll.
I had to tink a lot with this and redo the lace part a lot. i was working in a poorly lit area to my defence

OK so to get the curls i used an eHow tute . you make a slip knot then wrap it like a curler. then take a sewing needle and go under two wraps. i did this around knitting needles and got about six curls per needle. you spray with water. i preheat the over to 350, then turned it off once i put the tray in. left it in for about five minutes. I had to make about 50-60 curls for this dolls head to not look thin.
 
then i sewed the dress. but i couldn't think of an easy way to get it on and off. so i sewed straps. but they are to big so i had to make i knot, then tie that with a little bow. i hope the child can figure it out.

I'm working on another Ripley hat. one of my sisters asked me to make her a hat and scarf set. I'm not making the mittens. i don't have enough yarn for that.
 
I'm making the hat using magic loop I'm trying to get good at it so that i can get to a level that i can make two at a time socks. then my socks will be that same size. both to big or to small.
 
this i the last night that i have to work overnights. then if it doesn't snow Toby might take me to Toledo. since none of my family volunteered to pick me up :{

12-16

finished two dolls this week.

i used knit picks cotlin in bison, sea foam
knit picks comfy fingering
red heart super saver
size 3 needles for the doll in blue "18
size 2 for the doll in pink "16
 even after going down a needle size the doll still isn't the right size. so i just think that I'm not going to get to twelve inches.


braided hair


twisted hair

I'm going to try for a curly Afro for the next one. i also need to pump out something for my mother. who has a gift exchange at work and wants me to make something for her partner and ship it out and get it before 12-24

I set up my holiday tree and everything. it only stayed up for about two day. my cats kept taking things off the tree. and eating it so i didn't want to deal with that for weeks. here's what it looked like

I also cut up some squares to make quilts. i got these fleece throws on sale for like 3.99 at Kmart's. and some of the fabric came from wal-mart, some from Joann's.


i don't know when I'll sew these i guess after i finish up with all these holiday gifts that people will be getting after the holidays

on top the middle has "12x "12 and "6x"6 around
the bottom is all "6x"6

and my shawl is coming along I'm in section D i just have to finish up that and section E which is only one row and i will be done.

OK time to read this new graphic novel i got "ultra" and go to sleep. if i can i had five cups of coffee last night and its still kinda working.
k bye
