doll from the tearoom patterns

good morning crafters and welcome to my share for today:

a hand knitted doll using two of my patterns from:

Mary Jane's tearoom

meet molly (version 2)

on my doll today i have used 4ply wool for the doll and malabrigo sock wool for her dress and shoes.

Molly is 12" tall 

i have used large loop mohair wool for her hair

there are pros and cons on using this wool esspecailally on this doll.

although her hair is wild and adoreable as i intended i need to learn an alternative method due to the hair being attached in cut lengths (doll not suitable for a small child) the wool frays on the ends an awful lot. 

so for now this little cutie will stay with me.

here's what i have used:

patterns: mary jane's tearoom, dolls from the tearoom: Molly and dress from the tearooms

needles: 2 1/4 (uk)

wool: 

doll: super soft baby 4ply 100% acrylic and baby shimmer 4ply super soft 85% acrylic 15% viscose

both  by James c brett

dress & shoes: malabrigo sock yarn, superwash merino wool (the knitters attic)

hair: large loop dolly mo, blonde (little oke dolls)

features: black yarn, pink embriodary floss and rouge crayon for cheeks.

all it leaves me to say now is:

thanks for popping by, enjoy your day and craft happy, Ann. x
