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:

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
