Knitted doll update

I had a rethink on the dolls hair last night. The bulky look of the loops didn't look right so I cut the loops to make a straighter look. I then decided to trim it so it looked properly layered. (I cut my husband's and boys hair so hairdressing isn't completely new to me... I just haven't cut a doll's hair before!) The hair is still pretty full but now looks a lot better.

 This is the start of the underpants. They ended up purple, not the green I planned- the green just didn't suit the doll... perhaps I'm overthinking this but I have to get everything just right.

I've found it harder to do the clothes as I'm now more aware of the need to get a more consistent tension so the clothes fit the doll. I'm also finding it hard to decide what to make first, I want to do so much... it will probably take a lot longer to do all the clothes than it did to do the doll's body. Plus I want to do another doll so that I can make it better next time....

Oh well, one thing at a time...

Until next time
