Moritz Steifel

After waiting about a hundred years (or since September anyway, when I was enlightened by my new roommate), I finally was able to see SPRING AWAKENING, the broadway musical! It was absolutely amazing, and I wish I could see it every day of my life..unfortunately I live in Wisconsin. But, before seeing the show I made a babe of my favorite character, Moritz Steifel. The current actor, Blake Bashoff, was able to sign it at the stage door after the show!...now if only I could get the original John Gallagher Jr. to sign him.... (as seen in the poster). Right now I just need to make a school uniform...

Ron Weasley Babe

My kids (and I) are big Harry Potter fans. My youngest daughter, who's 2, requested a "Ron Weasley" doll. Here he is. Now, I just need to figure out how to make clothes, so he's not naked. :)



(That's his belly button, that's unravelling, unfortunately.)

Can these dolls be any cuter? I am hooked. Hopefully my pictures will upload to the blog. These are my first dolls and I think I have a new obsession !

My first and doubtfully my last Babe

Here she is...I'm thrilled at how she turned out and how fast she worked up.

I made the lace granny panties so that she would never be naked.

The skirt is something I made up as I went and need to make a top or jacket/sweater. She also needs shoes, maybe a purse...I think I'll work on a wardrobe before I make a friend for her.

I'm having so much fun!

Rasta-Babe!

It's Iree, Mon! Don't ask! What do you think of this idea: a not-yet felted vase as a hat for one of our babes? Sorry, no arms or legs yet! OOPs.

Knitted YarnHaus Babes

Do you like the knitted babes me & my partner, Paula made? They look just like us & we had them on display in our closed (sniff, sob!) yarnshop, YarnHaus, of Mobile, AL. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted!

first knitted babe

Hello I would like to introduce my first knitted babe (on the left). her name is Laura and I have made her for my daughter. on the right it is a babe too (pattern by Claire Garland from toys to crochet). I must admit that it was after visiting this site that I decided to give a go to a knitted one.

2 Babes and a Pirate!

Hey all! I made these dolls last year. The first one I did was the lighter skinned brunette doll for my daughter. The second was the orange-haired doll, for a gift. I wanted to make one for my son, so I modified the pirate to make him "Captain Jack Sparrow" from Pirates of the Caribbean. :)





My next dolls will be a Dorothy (from the Wizard of Oz - for my daughter) and Ron Weasley (from Harry Potter) for my younger daughter. I've also been asked to make one (or more) for an auction at my daughter's preschool.

Question re dpns

HiI am a newcomer to this blog, and just bought the book ... I am excited to start! The pictures of your Knitted Babes inspire me.

I noticed that a couple of people said you used dpn. My book has the dolls knit on regular needles; can you give any hints on converting? Also, did you knit tubes for the arms and legs; the book shows the arms and legs as "curled in" strips but I think tubes would be cute. Any help appreciated, thanks!

my newest babes

Here are 2 of the 5 babes I have made so far.
This one is my daughters. She helped with the hair which took forever to plait.
This one came as a kit. I treat myself at Christmas and enjoyed every minute making her.
I now have a mermaid and a baby fairy on the needles. These dolls are so addictive.
