Wife Doll-Part 2


So, I took this past Sunday to work on the Wife doll, over finishing up some homework. I'd gone to A.C. Moore the day before to find an accurate color of yarn for her hair and pick up some felt sheets for her clothes. I finished crocheting the arms at work on Saturday and attached all of the limbs and threaded all of the hair onto the head on Sunday. The hair threading is not stable, I took a touch-but-don't-yank approach to the hair. To thread it I pulled loops of yarn through diagonal holes in the stitching and cut the loops to produce locks of hair. So, if you pull on a string another will give somewhere else on the head, I suppose that if there ever was a need to re-thread the hair the method I chose would be easy to take out and replace. Although it's not child proof, I don't picture Dom's wife walking about the apartment with her thumb in her mouth and dangling her dolly by the hair beside her. 


Next is to work up on her outfit. I've decided on a baby pink tank top with a black, buttoned-down, puffy sleeve shirt over it with a matching black pencil skirt. I picked up the Depending on how it looks, I may add a colorful belt too. I'm also debating on how much detail I'd like to put into the clothes Buttons? Embroidery? Lace? Beads? I suppose it'll be decided when the bits are all together on her.
