Bad Hair Babe

Hi, please, somebody give me some advice!! My babe is finished, but I hate her hair-do! I sewed as adviced bunches of yarn together and then down her head. But it looks like a bad mohican style... was I supposed to sew from side to side instead? Any advice re hair would be greatly appreciated, as the rest of her looks nice and I want to move on to making her some groovy clothes. Gotta get past this bad hair thing though first..... :0) Kind Regards, Cerstin and a bad hair day chick!Hi, please, somebody give me some advice!! My babe is finished, but I hate her hair-do!

Meet Queen Cleo



Hi,
This is my first post and my first knitted babe, Cleo. She was knit out of baby cashmerino with cotton rope unwound for her hair. Cleo was my first non-scarf project, and she was so much fun and so easy, even for a newbie like me!!

Lizzie


This is Lizzie - I finished her yesterday just in time to mail her off to my neice for Christmas. So hard to say goodbye to these adorable dolls! (My other babe, Lila, is also being shipped off as a gift. My next babe is for ME!)

Lili Caramel



Hello, I'm Dominique. I'm showing my first babe : Lili Caramel.

Bonjour, je suis Dominique. Je vous présente ma première babe : Lili Caramel.

French Babes

Parlez vous francais? Then you'll want to check out this French Babes Knit-Along to see the Babes fellow knitters are making across the Atlantic. And if you speak French, by all means join this KAL too - you can have duel citizenship! My younger sister is marrying a frenchman next summer in Nice and she's almost fluent, but unfortunately I barely get by and rely on her as my translator when we travel together... maybe I'll take up French after I finish more knitting lessons, and guitar lessons, and prenatal yoga classes. (Clarification: my sister did not create the French blog. Alas, she crochets, not knits!)
