What I like about this pattern. It starts with the sole of the foot.
I started this doll at my College's faculty retreat. Which means I had an audience which had a lot to say about the process. And, in fact, this project invited a lot of comment because,
The first foot looked a little wonky but I persevered.
The second foot came out better but was only 3/4 as large. Thus it suggested that the first foot was wonky by accident, as opposed to by design.
Made a third foot which came out the right side to match the second foot.Here's the second and third feet
The next day, I worked on this person during our fall convocation. A very good use of time. Made good progress.
Person has a face now, so I expect they'll be making demands of me.
Worked on person while at a dog agility trial in Santa Rosa. Not a great trial, in general, but good doll progress.
Final shot!
Person wanted a cowboy hat for this photo!
