Amigurumi - The wife

The other night I received an interesting phone call from my friend Dom at around 9:30. Dom has the habit of calling people while he is driving home from Law school. As much as I may complain or playfully gripe, I do enjoy the consistency of his calls. He opened the conversation requesting a favor, very unlike Dom. He requested that I make him a doll of his wife, matching details as best that I could from Facebook pictures, including her *new* hot pink glasses. The whole point of this doll creation was sinister, which made it all the easier to accomplish. This past Saturday they watched the Coraline matinee, and the movie rightfully creeped his wife out! Buttons for eyes... How could I turn down such an interesting request! 

So, I took to making the doll with Amigurumi crochet techniques. I'm relatively new to amigurumi, I've made some Lion Brand patterns for Christmas presents and some simple trinkets of my own design. So, with some help from CRAFT: Vol. 1 I was able to piece together the torso with attached legs, a technique I find fantastic! So, far only the head and the body are completed. I intend to apply yarn hair, but felt clothing for eases sake. We'll see how my first human doll turns out!
