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.

I'm digging this body. I like the shape of it. The feet look pretty big in the photo. Actually the feet are pretty big. But my feet are pretty big, so I see that as a plus!

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!
